Nearly 2300 Tues 1S25 Still at Euston , been told loss of power on allocated loco 92033, think 92018 to be used from Wembley . Not sure if 92033 can move under its own power .
I saw a Channel 5 prog( Worlds Most Scenic Railways) this evening about the line from Inverness to Wick and Thurso. Some of the units featured were 158701 and 158720.
Obviously the program was made pre-covid , over several days using various 158s to make it seem 1 journey for TV.
Now looking...
The other Friday (15th) I caught 1M06 0800 Preston to Euston buying tickets on the day from machine at Preston. No need to reserve seats, plenty of space on train as I like a walk to see how well loaded the Pendos are . Looking at RT trains for todays 1M06 it does say '
reservations...
I see last nights 1S25 was terminated at Perth at 0703 today. A tweet says 'broken down train' Has anyone anymore info please ?
It was about 34 late out of Euston due to late boarding .
re #11333,im led to believe that GBRF who supply 92s for sleepers in and out of Euston are withdrawing all class 92s .Could use 66s as they do for portions to/from Edinburgh , we shall see !
There is a problem with 92010 due to haul 1S25 from Euston. That loco now detached , parked in spare platform as OS95
Replacement loco awaited from Wembley, so I am told.
FS did have problems leaving Carlisle, not sure if was part of the train . Plan was to detach it at Darlington and FS going on to Shildon

Nat Rail say incident happened 1701
So who took it down , have you any more info please ? Its just that Railcam are not saying a lot, considering us supporters paid for it . Sometimes they that us with contempt, do not say a lot.
By the way, I see Bluebell Railway in Sussex now has its own webcams, will post link later.
Im very pleased to see Railcam has camera at Glenfinnan. I support Railcam and believe in the project as they know.
The Glenfinnan viaduct features in Harry Potter films and carries the Jacobite train Fort Willam to Mallaig
First thing that occurred to me , was if its so good, why has not...
TODAYS Liverpool Echo webby still insists it wwas running from Knowsley to Liverpool. Basic research would show it was 2K48 from Liverpool to Kirkby arriving at 1854 . Merseyrail dont operate to /from Knowsley as its a FREIGHT terminal ...

The 390 involved was 390138, City of London. Good news is that it was back out today ( Tuesday ) . First working was 1M09 0836 Glasgow to Euston before making a return trip to Liverpool , and finally one to Wolverhmpton, then Oxley CMD. All went well going by timings.
So it was fixed at...
All the previuous posts seem to do with going to/from Inverness, /Fort William,that is with the Highlander. No doubt The Lowlander (Eus to Edinburgh.Glasgow will be reinstated one day ; it would take pressure off Highlander.
Went past Thankerton just now (0052 ?) not much to see to be honest, just a slow Pendo , looks like should be Carstairs soon to be overtaken by freight train .
Of course it is now running backwards towards Carstairs ; I assume under its own power albeit slowly at 15mph.The rear vehicle is where the problem is. Info says its an 11 car Pendo so the rear vehicle , with the problem ,woud be coach L , 1st class restuarant/kitchen car , if it was running...
