Swifty11 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hi guys, I know back when VT owned there thunderbirds they used to run a pre arranged drag to Hollyhead and there was one at Preston too going somewhere? Anyway do these still run and if so where can I see them and any timings would be much appreciated, thanks, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Western Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 There aren't any booked drags anymore. VT don't directly operate any 57s anymore, the contract to prove thunderbirds is with DRS. Virgin drivers drive the locos in rescue situations. Great Western Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

40044 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm quite certain some ECS are still diagrammed to be dragged, to maintain staff competency. Preston to Longsight, and Edge Hill to Preston via Crewe, IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
