What time For The Waverly Tour Next Sunday

[JamesHorrell]

Hello Next Sunday which will be the 24th July What time will the The Waverly be at Keighley as i want to go down and see it.
So does anyone know the times as my local newspaper are advertising a chance to win tickets for it and that it starts on the 24th and runs every saturday until the 3rd of september.

Yes, I'd like to know this as well, as I'll take my lads down to Saltaire to see it. What will be working it do you know?

Which paper has this competition? The T&A?

As usual, keep an eye on http://www.uksteam.info/tours/trs11.htm. Times will almost certainly appear there.
Loco may well be 45407 as that should be at York for SSEs.

Official times haven't been released yet, the Railway Touring Company page for the tour does have some provisional timings though, suggesting that it'll pass Keighley at 10:25:

http://www.railwaytouring.co.uk/index.php/the-waverley---sundays-240711-to-040911.html

That page also states that the loco for the trip will be chosen out of "Leander", "Oliver Cromwell", "Scots Guardsman" or 44932, with sister Black Five 45407 also mooted on the Steam Railtours website. So more than likely something with a LMS pedigree!

[DarloRich]

Me and my brother would love to know, we're heading up to Carlisle on the day on a Waverley but getting some other tours as well:

"Leander",

Is currently out undergoing overhaul

"Oliver Cromwell"

Maybe but is doing the Cumbrian Mountain Express from Scouseland the previous day so doubtful

"Scots Guardsman"

Yes please!

44932,

This is just a lump of cheese and hopefully will stay in Carnforth where she belongs, rots and dies so that no one misses her!

Black Five 45407 also mooted on the Steam Railtours website. So more than likely something with a LMS pedigree!

This is the number one choice according to the uksteam website so it would look like The Lancashire Fusilier is going to cross from Yorkshire to Cumbria

 

[DarloRich]

Outbound Inbound

So Will anybody from the forum be at Keighley on Sunday to see it come though and also does anyone know if its ok to use a Tripod at Keighley Station as i want to film it but i don't really want to hold the camera free hand as i usally end up aking it shake a lot???

 

[DarloRich]

No - the letter with the tickets says something like operationa difficulties. I wonder if they have had to take this out to reflect the later start from York.

For me the later start is great becuase i can get the early train to York and make the train.

It's pretty much ok anywhere except Leeds station from past experience.

They have a point there: however I would argue that platform ends are quite and hence should be exempt. Anyway they don't give a toss because they're not enthusiasts. :roll:

Sorry for going off topic here.

People almost certainly will be on Keighley station tomorrow, I just don't know how many will have an interest in the train though!

O Right I just didn't want to look weird being the only one filming the train

 

[MidnightFlyer]

I meant regular passengers

If there's usually some there for a tour, then there'll probably be some there tomorrow.
