RMweb Premium 45156 Posted May 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2011 Per UK Steam website, there's two steam specials booked over the S&C on Thursday 19th May, and the timings show them to be due very close together. Cathedrals Express by Steam Dreams due to leave Preston at 11.00 behind 46115 and booked to take water at Hellifield - times were on the site last night, but have disappeared today. Cumbrian Mountain Express by UK Railtours coming from the Leeds direction, behind 71000 and booked to take water at Long Preston at 12.44 - booked to pass Hellifield at 12.40. If these run as planned, this will make quite an interesting couple off hours on the S&C - I'll not be there, regrettably, but thought that others might like the heads up.

Guest Max Stafford Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Thanks Stewart. I might well have a trip out to see this pair at a suitably remote spot! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted May 16, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'd check the final details first on http://www.uksteam.info/tours/trs11.htm#twk before setting out as one of the timings has been removed for some reason - AFIK the train is still running.

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted May 17, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2011 Timings are back, and it seems that after the water stops at Hellifield and Long Preston repectively, these two will be about half an hour apart from Appleby to Carlisle Cathedrals Express due off Appleby 13.52 into Carlisle 14.38 CME due off Appleby 14.25 into Carlisle 15.17. Any prizes for guessing whether these timings will work in reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hamblin Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Unfortunately the Cathedrals Express run is now postponed until August due to unavailability of 86259. http://railways.national-preservation.com/showthread.php/30995-CATHEDRALS-EXPRESS-19-05-11-%28CARLISLE%29?p=413272#post413272 Regards, Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
