I travelled on the ill-feted 70000 Britannia hauled 'Cumbrian Mountaineer' yesterday Wednesday 8th April and all the subsequent failures that occurred

I was just heading to end of Platform in the morning and Britannia arrived very early, so i was unable to get a decent photo of her arriving

70000 Britannia failed at Oxenholme - Railway-Photography

railway-photography.smugmug.com

so i walked up to the other end of platform hoping for a decent photo only to find a overhead mast right alingside 70000 Britannia, Oh well i should be able to get some decent photos at Carlisle, little did i know what was going to happen later!!

Some very high speed running especially around Morecambe Sth Jct & Carnforth, (i won't mention the speed), then approaching Oxenholme things started to go wrong, we were approaching a stop signal, which was unusual, we found out the footplate crew had requested a stop to check out some banging noises, 70000 went into the loop and was taken off and removed into the engineers siding for inspection, where we heard that it was a failed big end, photos show the support crew inspecting the loco.

37409 was summoned from Carlisle to take over the tour and we finally arrived at Carlisle well over an hour late.

I decided i wasn't going to bother with the return trip back to Crewe behind 37409 i went home via the S&C to Leeds, then on to Huddersfield, which in retrospect was a good idea as 37409 itself failed at Tebay, luckily 2 class 20's sent to rescue 70000 at Oxenholme were able to get to Tebay to collect broken 37409 and train, with a 1 hour late arrival back at Crewe. (Has there ever been a tour where the rescue loco also failed and had to be rescued?)

I had noticed that there was a changeover from Manston to City of Wells due to take place on P3 at Bury, but as has happened a few times this Gala the platform was changed to P2
No worries just slightly different views than i anticipated

I finally arrived at the SVR steam gala 3 hours later than I should have arrived due to the wires down at Manchester Piccadilly so in total took 6 hours from Huddersfield to Kidderminster!!!, which included a journey back to Huddersfield onto Leeds to get train there, which was cancelled due to trespassers in the NE, anyway enough of my woes here are a few phone photos taken this evening/night at Bridgnorth, Arley and Bewdley

I then moved to Highley behind the Stanier mogul and 2 shuttle coaches.
Seen in order they appeared at Highley were :-

4930 Hagley Hall appeared somewhat strangely with no passengers and not in the timetable with 4 GWR coaches which it took into the loop and ran round and later departed back South.
At this time i didn'y know about 1450's problem
