'CHARD Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) At 20.50 into this marvellous footage of the S&C, we see the down Waverley approaching Blea Moor tunnel, or is it the up. I forget. Immerse yourselves in this anyway, it's sixties hard-worked Peak bliss.... ...and at 45.00 1S64 is seen in the Citadel.

'CHARD Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) I haven't seen the home page for this shot I just found, but this looks suspiciously like a diverted West Coast service 1S05 in the transition era, well, when else could it be! https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/913697_485622401507001_1746660100_o.jpg EDIT: It's on Project Hawick of this parish.

At least in those days a banker did not have today scandal fueled negative connotation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Martin Wynne has posted a link to a fantastic BBC piece from 1972, in this thread: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/100149-settle-carlisle-waverley-1972/?p=1921499 Incredible footage from around the 20 minute mark, including Longtown SB, and Hawick still functioning as a parcels distribution hub.

The Border Reiver Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 In January 1966, I heard that the daily 14MU, RAF Carlisle workers train from Parkhouse Halt to Citadel station was to be withdrawn. I had intended to photo the evening train, which left Parkhouse Halt around 5pm, on most evenings. However, in January and early February it was too dark to take photos, so I only managed to start taking them in late February. My plans were further disrupted by a death in the family at the end of Feb 1966.I did manage to take a few shots before the train ceased, and here is a photo of Ivatt 2-6-0 No. 43000 crossing the Waverly Bridge over the river Eden and passing the entrance to the closed Canal shed in February 1966. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but compelling. I got a copy of this about 10-15 years ago, though rather a weary copy, and put the Carlisle-Edinburgh section up on my 37175 Youtube account. Must say that when the BBC repeated the episode and broadcast a documentary on Iain Nairn (last year was it?) I raised a dram to the chap (he'd have liked that) as he is one of my all time absolute idols, and he's one that I'll never have the chance of meeting in person.

Alasdair 1S05 looks to have been the down "Royal Highlander", 20:20 Euston - Inverness sleeper, but if so it is running very late as it should have left Carlisle at about 1:30am.

Bill Jamieson Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) I'm afraid that the only link I can give you for a completely new (to me) Bill Anderson shot on the WR is to suggest you go into WH Smith and have a look in the current edition of Steam Railway magazine. There's a very nice shot of Salmon Trout approaching Fountainhall station on a Carlisle New Yard to Millerhill freight in 1965. The view is taken from the platform end with the train thoughtfully framed between signals (as one might expect from WJV).
