    Road To Hull Timings 28 Dec

    And for the traction for a fair few on board I would say. An enjoyable day with some good weather as well. Some pics from the day can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gbrailphotos/sets/72157639136208223/

    RPSI May tour in doubt?

    I wouldn't be to hasty to think it won't run, I have been on a number of RPSI tours over the last 3 years and certainly the "Mystery Tours" have been only advertised about 4 weeks before! Its a pain to organise flights etc if you don't live in Ireland but RPSI have a real job getting tours...

    UK railtours Pennine Panorama

    I stand corrected, 015 was what I was told earlier and made sense as its been working off Warrington for the last 3 weeks. At least the tour has a 60 on the front as is running today :-)

    London Midland Class 150/1 Refresh

    170502 on 17.59 to Gt Malvern last night(24/10), I was hoping to see 109 :-( Has this permanently gone over to 170's now or just a temporary thing whilst they are being repainted? Like the LM livery on the 150's though, shame they're not doing the insides too.

    UKR - The Ferry-go-Round - Saturday 20th October

    I was sitting next to some guys more into track than I am and apparently we did a loop line on the approach to Sheffield near Brightside coming back from Ferrybridge? Anyway, good day out and I agree, the commentary wa very informative. Limited pics ...

    1H80 ; 1H81 etc

    Sorry for being pedantic but 1H80, 1H81 were great for knowing what trains were loco-hauled (and thus avoiding units) but there weren't any "diagrams" as such in them. I suppose it comes down to what you define as a diagram but the previously mentioned "loco-hauled travel" books of the early...

    The Rossendale Venturer - 30/06/12

    Ok, thanks. UK Railtours use DB Schenker for motive power but on numerous occasions over the years they use top n tail 66/0's depending on where the tour is going, hence my question for this tour.

    The Rossendale Venturer - 30/06/12

    Hopefully someone may know and this hadn't been asked before but what's the likely traction for this 66's or 67's? Thanks

    Class 37 loco hauled Liverpool St - Kings Lynn.

    Ah, but in Germany, France, Holland etc they have double-decker stock so you don't

    Class 37 loco hauled Liverpool St - Kings Lynn.

    Or Britain could have gone down the route of Germany and thus have multiple fixed sets of loco + stock coupled together thus getting the best of both worlds? I have travelled on many a DB 218 + Dostos or n-wagen which were coupled up at peak times to another set doubling capacity, with no...

    Another Class 70007 on Fire / Another 70 Failure

    There is a regular 70 turn through Solihull line to Southampton on Saturday mornings around 9am (at Solihull) too. Don't blame me if a 66 turns up on occasions :-) Pic of 70008 on 31/3/12: http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/gbrailphotos/7031717053/in/set-72157627248025281/

    RPSI '171 For 171' Diesel tour, Dublin-Cork-return, 21/4/12. (071 haulage requested)

    Great day out, 079 sounded great and weather was alot better than forecast too! Some more pics can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gbrailphotos/sets/72157629878451225/

    RPSI '171 For 171' Diesel tour, Dublin-Cork-return, 21/4/12. (071 haulage requested)

    Having sent my booking off at the beginning of March I emailed the RPSI last week to see if it had been received and got a quick reply back to say they had and tickets will be sent out 10 days before the tour. So based on that I would guess that they have been sent out either yesterday or today.

    RPSI "South Clare" International Railtour May 2012 (incl.Diesel tour Friday 11/5/12).

    I assume you are referring to the steam bits of the weekend when you say its filling up? There aren't any firm details e.g. Price ,for the Diesel trip on the Friday so I would be amazed if that part was nearly full.

    Saturday 18th February UK Railtours "The Snowdon Panorama"

    Yes, they normally do depending on what the tour is and how full it is etc but I would ring/email them first out to make sure.
