- CHAOS and Deja Vu:
When trains headed to FAIL on the S&C.
3 Days at Carlisle Station
22 - 24 July 24
Three similar days or so I expected.
Plenty of Class 70s on each day.
On the Monday the day passed pretty much as I;d expected.
On the Tuesday Things were much different.
The Engineers train to Crewe fails before its hardly left the Carlisle area delaying freight and passenger trains on the Settle & Carlisle line by up to 100 minutes. It failed at Howe & Co's Sidings and had to be towed back to Carlilse Yard. It would run later via the WCML. Meanwhile, once the line was clear (and the Logs were on their way) the 1336 to Leeds ran non stop to Skipton followed by the 1450 some 50 minutes late - with your's truly aboard. I'm an On Train Guide for the Friends of the Settle Carlisle Line and was with a party heading to Settle. Thus I saw trains passing through the station but was committed to my task of entertaining the group.
The following day another freight almost causes similar chaos. The Dewsbury aggregates train was struggling as it approached Ais Gill sumit on the S&C. The driver managed to revoer it. However the 1336 to Leeds ws delayed by half an hour, the Engineer's train was committed to the S&C route but Colas rescheduled their Log train to run over the WCML.
The times shown on clips are for guidance only and shouldn't be taken as definitive.

Another lovely video Leslie well done great camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on UA-cam bye for now Philip
Thanks so much! 😊
Another very professional video... I love the way you capture the long freight trains snaking round the curves and dropping out of sight.. where do you get all you're information from..? Many thanks Les.
Thank you very much! All the info is from Real Time Trains
Always an interesting time at Carlisle. Might just be because it's Ancestral turf, but Carlisle is my favourite station.
\Glad you enjoy these!
Ah!! I see!! We’ve got rail works!! We have too many of them in Broxbourne!! It looks like you have them in Carlisle as well!!
There you go
6E41....21 waggons....up to 2000 tons load, maybe more....perhaps a second loco might be a good back on a challenging climb like to Ais Gill.
Some great film....thanks for your dedication.
Possibly! To be honest the 70s usually have no bother.. Glad you enjoyed
Top man Les 👍 all okay
Thanks
anything special like freight or anything passing florenston crossing if so what time?
Sorry I hadnt read this until this evening but I hope you went out. There were Class 37s on civil engineer's train coming in from Ayrshire, the Blue Pullman and Class 66 on the aviation fuel to and from Prestwick Airport
Another excellent video as Ive come to expect. I’m hoping to travel to Carlisle from Glasgow for a days spotting on the 1st of August. Is there anyone I should approach to ask for permission?
To be honest I wouldn't bother. There are always people spotting and taking photos. Just stick to the rules and the platform staff won't bother you (they are keen on their yellow lines). Check out RealTime Trains too for what you are likely to see, certainly on the freight side.
Hi. Leslie i am in ANTRIM HOSPITAL WITH two weeks now and it could take up to 5 more weeks to get me right now i had a bad fall in my house 2 weeks ago now Leslie please keep your great video comeing mate they keep me up.leslie goodbye for now Clive in ANTRIM HOSPITAL
Clive you get well and I hope my videos help break the hospital monotony
Settle to carlisle mega farce
Definitely on Thursday!
Lemme guess, Les. FOSCL means "Friends of S&C Line" ....... Amiright?
Correct!
What caused the chaos? Was there a major railway accident? Did the signal man go on strike? Was it that some criminal stole the wires? What happened?
freight train broke down blocking the settle carlisle line for an hour or two but knock on was delays to log train and two following passenger trains. I was on one of the passenger train
