RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted February 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2017 Yes I watched it on BBC Breakfast. Good coverage and a factually accurate pre recorded piece. Great to see and also an on time departure live on national TV. The presenter on Appleby station did refer to Tornado as a carriage though.

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted February 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2017 As its an 'advertised service' it could be a bit embarrassing if someone turns up at Garsdale for a train on the first morning and they're not allowed to get on - will they be provided with a taxi instead I wonder? Do all the people who fail to get on overcrowded services normally get taxis!? Someone needs to advertise that at Clapham Junction ;-) Seems a great exercise, hats off to Northern and NR.

jonny777 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I hope the crowds expecting to get 'photo shot of the year' were not too saddened by the loco running tender-first southbound, and with a 67 immediately behind the loco; to spoil any idea that NR actually trusts 60163 not to fail en-route.

I suspect that the 67 is there just to provide an ETH supply for the coaches. Of course it will be on the rear on the way back for the climb up the Long Drag.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted February 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2017 It was on Look North with some nice shots of it that looked to be north of Horton in Ribblesdale going well and sounding good. It's a bit better for the passengers than a 158 with vinyls over the windows. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsforever Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The Railcam website loooks like it has crashed due to Tornado, watched it at Kirkby very impressive loads of people getting on the train now I wonder if Chiltern would consider Aylesbury Marylebone ?

LNER4479 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Lies! It's all lies I tell you! Just following proceedings on Real Time Trains and BBC local news. Several folks at the industry meeting I was at today SERIOUSLY impressed at how the whole thing has been put together. (that'll be the kiss o' death on it!) Was going to pop over and take a look tomorrow but looks like other things have got in the way. Shucks! D I Schuffed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2017 I failed to say well done slg for posting this thread here and not in Preservation. I know I should get a better life but it really pi##es me off when folk post info about Tornado in 'Preservation'. 60163 is a newly built loco, not a preservation item. There I've done my moan. N.

Classsix T Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The definition of preserved has been questionable for some time Phil. Perhaps it's something along the lines of more than an asset in a company ledger? As long as 56301 doesn't get pranged/bent/torched whilst on the 'big' railway, her future is assured. I don't care what her status is. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomboid Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 On passenger trains perhaps. The newest passenger trains over the route that I can think of were back when pendos & vomiters were diverted that way, and tornado is newer than those I think. Freight locos over there will have been newer though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Coverage on the 6 o'clock news tonight was a little misleading. This morning saw Tornado running tender first with a 67 behind. All the coaching stock was ex Anglian green Mk2's. The feature this evening showed a bright sunny day with Tornado without the 67, running normally with a mix of maroon and crimson/cream coaching stock. Of course it doesn't change the overall content of the story, but it annoys me when things are not reported accurately. Needless to say, my dear lady thinks I'm a dork......

APOLLO Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Tornado ? - Almost as exciting as my run on the up Thames Clyde Express, 30 July 1968, double headed Peaks D148 & D31, here seen crossing Blea Moor viaduct and departing Skipton for Leeds. North West run-about rover ticket, 7 days for £2. Last week of steam. Glad to see the S&C will be fully back open soon, well done to all concerned.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2017 Having observed all four workings at Settle station today. As far as I could tell, the northern end 3 or 4 coaches are unreserved seating and are pot-luck if you get a seat. The four coaches at the southern end are pre-sold/reserved seats. The first southbound had plenty of seats available from Settle. The first north and second south runs were the busiest. The second north run had lots of empty seats in the first few (unreserved) coaches as Settle emptied out, just in time for folk to catch a southbound DMU back towards Skipton/Leeds. If you want a cheap run uphill behind Tornado, then get on at Settle at about 1735 - but it will be dark. I haven't yet worked out the logistics of getting back south from intermediate stations up to Appleby........ Listening to the staff at Settle, there didn't seem to be any overcrowding issues, but that may be a different issue tomorrow due to today's media coverage.
