That’s exactly what I thought, I think it’s due back again in July so I will Definetly consider the S&C line, thanks for the comment! 😊

@@TRAlNVlDEOS The S&C will always be the most scenic of lines and a steam train just makes it even better.

No problem! 😊

Yes has been repaired, coincidentally i am actually going to see it again today so the video will be out later if your interested 👍

@@TRAlNVlDEOS Yes, thank you. Greetings from Belgium !

Hi it was the 7th of May 2024! 👍

Ahh I saw a 68 and a 88 with Nuclear waste in Lancaster. nice vid though

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you, I’m glad you liked the video!

Thank you and yes it was, although I didn’t see it because I was busy revising! 😊

@TRAlNVlDEOS ahh right, good luck with your exams!

@@jimmystransportmarvels8815 Thank you!! 🙏

Thank you!

😂

Thank you once again, glad you enjoyed the video! 👍

Yeah 😂

Thanks!

I think it might have been, but i don’t remember that well! 👍

@@TRAlNVlDEOS Yh because I saw it yesterday down the West Country

​@@transportsupreme4756 I had it at Blackburn

I think so!

The reason there are so many weeds in the station is because the weed killer isn’t allowed to be sprayed in the station because of health risks the track outside of the station is mainly clear of weeds, thanks for the comment! 👍

Thank you!

It was probably because the locomotive hauling the sleeper is an electric class 92 and the Tyne valley isn’t electrified. 👍

@@TRAlNVlDEOS True - but I wouldn’t have thought it beyond the capabilities of GBRF to send a loco from Tyne Yard, could be guard’s route knowledge as well.

@@AJRichards925 Yeah I guess although there might not have been a driver available or maybe they were expecting Caldew junction to be cleared sooner than it was.

No other loco, electric or diesel can provide high enough ETH index power needed for the coaches.

@@pn112upfast Don’t the sleeper trains get taken over by class 73s though for the further legs?

Polish these days

Not all, WCR sometimes don’t have a diesel and the same with Vintage trains!

Thanks!

No problem!

Something to do with H&S in proximity with the public. Yes, absolutely disgraceful

The fireman most definitely NOT on the back foot. As others have posted the loco was coasting with the regulator shut so there will be smoke. The fireman would be building his fire for the work ahead.

@@juleshathaway3894 Too much, too late, back foot.

@@barry5787 The fireman is an old friend, I’ve known him since I joined the 60009 support crew in 1990 and he was firing for Scotrail even then. Did you notice how the smoke cleared once the regulator was opened? Are you a fireman Barry?

@@juleshathaway3894 Changes nothing.

@@barry5787 Thank you Barry, says it all. Have a nice day 😁

I agree! 👌

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!

No coal burns white: the condensate of steam is white (steam itself is invisible). Ideally, the exhaust should be light grey indicating there’s no holes in the fire and it’s not too thick. The thick clag we saw here is indicative of the fact the regulator was closed, there’s a round of fresh coal on and doors were likely closed and the blower just cracked. As soon as the regulator was opened, the clag cleared

Nothing unusual,the loco is coasting so there's less air being drawn through the fire bars into the fire.

Soot? It's smoke from the coal.

@@loco42041 And cheap coal at that, good "steam coal" is now very expensive.

To be fair in this occasion there wasn’t much which could be done to avoid it, there was no way a train could’ve passed through because the track was completely under water!

@@TRAlNVlDEOS Where was that Avanti unit going?

@@EllieMaes-Grandad The first one was heading North to either Glasgow or Edinburgh and the second one was heading south to London.

I’m not sure, maybe to transport the driver up from the south to Carlisle?

Yes I believe the customers were still onboard until later int he morning and then it was officially cancelled which must’ve been frustrating for any passengers!

Thanks!

Thank you! 👍
