@@TRAlNVlDEOS True - but I wouldn’t have thought it beyond the capabilities of GBRF to send a loco from Tyne Yard, could be guard’s route knowledge as well.
@@AJRichards925 Yeah I guess although there might not have been a driver available or maybe they were expecting Caldew junction to be cleared sooner than it was.
Yes I believe the customers were still onboard until later int he morning and then it was officially cancelled which must’ve been frustrating for any passengers!
To be fair in this occasion there wasn’t much which could be done to avoid it, there was no way a train could’ve passed through because the track was completely under water!

Thank you!
What's all the 'clicking' noise about?
Sorry for the late reply, I think it is the spirax valve, which essentially drips away any condensation in the air system.
I wonder why the beds didn’t go via Tyne Valley and up the ECML…. Unless it’s crew knowledge.
It was probably because the locomotive hauling the sleeper is an electric class 92 and the Tyne valley isn’t electrified. 👍

No other loco, electric or diesel can provide high enough ETH index power needed for the coaches.
@@pn112upfast Don’t the sleeper trains get taken over by class 73s though for the further legs?
Nice to see the caley in the daytime for a change, but not very happy customers!

Do you know why it needed a 90 to take it back?
I’m not sure, maybe to transport the driver up from the south to Carlisle?
Did the customers have a lie in?
I think so!
Railways here in the uk are a joke
