bittern - Carlisle today

[Mr395008]

Has it got lost? Been waiting her for about 2 hours. Enthusiasts have disappeared. :/

according to the UK mainline steam site

Should have arrived at 1329 and leave at 1534.

I guess it could easily get a 1 hour delay.

Oh dear! does anyone have a ETA to Carlisle? Already missed my original train back to NCL.

Any update as to where it is??

 

[Mr395008]

I'm at Carlisle and it's still not here. They've fixed the points issue though.

Arrived in Carlisle around 4.30..was supposed to leave at 5pm but as it hadnt come back from a water pick up and my car parking had ran out I left. Nice sight though when it came in

I was on a Voyager from Edinburgh to Birmingham, we overtook Bittern looped around Lockerbie area at 1555. It was a fine, and for me unexpected, sight.

I saw Bittern in the sidings at Crewe on Friday along with Tornado.

As did 5043 at Shap on Saturday - anyone bet against a steam ban?
