Upcoming Specials Via West Coast Main Line?

[Robert C.]

Hello, All.

I'm a UK railway enthusiast located in the US and I've recently discovered the West Coast main line web cam. Is anyone aware of special tours/workings scheduled for the WCML which will be passing the web cam's location during the upcoming days?

Thank you in advance for any information provided.

Kind regards,

Robert

Whereabouts is the webcam located? There is a tour this Saturday going via the West Coast from Leeds to Oxford (see here for more info).

Yep, you will be able to see the Royal Scot but won't the other one join at Euxton Junction, just north of the webcam?

I'm assuming this train won't sit in Central for five hours which sucks because providing I'm working a reasonably early shift, I would take a wee trip in and see it.

The Retro railtours Leeds to Oxford tour won't pass Euxton, it's running via Stockport and Stafford so will join the WCML much further south.

The Retro railtour is being hauled by a duff.

For some reason I read the post as if you'd said that it was hauled by Royal Scot! Haven't even had a beer yet today...

Fair enough, I thought your post was a bit out of the blue: Just assumed you were really enthusiastic about the traction
