Fellsman and Northern Belle with other Trains at Carlisle:
Plus a problem with points
17 & 18 May 23
Filmed on two days.
On the 17th we gathered to see Royal Scot bring The Settle & Carlisle Fellsman into Carlisle from Crewe and Chester, travelling each way over the Settle & Carlisle line.
The cement train ran down onto the S&C as did the 6K05 Engineer's train and The Logs.
The class 8065s were on another test run from Oxley (Wolverhampton) to Glasgow and back.
After The Fellsman had gone to Upperby to be serviced and turn for the return run, I noticed that Down WCML trains were being held at the approach to South Junction. This caused some minor delays and meant that The Fellsman had to depart from Platform 4 instead of Platform 3 as scheduled.
I found out afterwards that there's been a Track Circuit Failure at South Junction. We see the engineers, having got a possession, go and inspect some points on South Junction.
When the 805 test train left, it did so under caution and with permission to pass a signal at Danger.
On the second day, actually either side of a trip I made to Skipton and back, I found two Network Rail test trains in the Holding Sidings.
TPE 395011 was sporting its Eurovision vinyls over the cabs. I wonder how long they will be retained - and in fact how long the bright TPE livery will be retained after the end of May.
The highlights were the Northern Belle heading south from Edinburgh to Crewe top and tailed by West coast Class 57s and then the evening Coatbridge - Daventry Intermodal hauled by a pair of Class 90s.
Any observations are my own and not intended to show any authority and may show my misunderstanding.

Lovely variety as always Les, nice to see the specials!
Thanks!
Well done again Les. Nice to see some steam again. Think you need to get the weedkiller out though. All the best. John
Nice variety Leslie...and with a colourful 397 as well. All the best.
Thanks Tim. Makes a change to see special vinyls on TPE sets
14:53 I first saw this steam locomotive at Blackpool Central where it was heading the train to Euston at 8am. It was in red livery in the late 1950’s as I recall??
😊
Another burst of nostalgia from another great video!!
That's cool! Not sure it would have been red though - thought only the LMS Pacifics got red livery in the 50s. Was always great to see these locos back in the day.
@@LeslieGilpinRailways ….further research revealed it was rebuilt in 1950 and was in crimson lake until then but not after rebuilding.
Thus, it must have been 1950 that I walked down to the locomotive taking my grandparents to Euston on the first leg of their trip home to Brighton.
@@theo-v7t apologies, I thought you were referring to a different video. Royal Scot would have received various liveries.
Off the kicker... 05:30 That was a unique TPE loco going by "Welcome to Liverpool"... I liked it. A great array of trains, obviously with the Royal Scot being a highlight. The Fellsman is a new one (class 47?)... and did I see a Deltic? I really liked the 57 and the coaches for the WCR! That was classic and sharp- plus it was named Conwy Castle- even more special to me now. You did get a good look inside the 805 this time... all in plastic, but seemed nice! The DRS88 was also cool in that livery of "Keeping it Cool"
Thanks Anthony. The Fellsman was the name of the excursion train (no doubt there'll be more over the summer). Not a Deltic sadly just a Class 37. The West Coast Northern Belle stock did have two matching locos in Pullman brown and cream to go with the carriages, but as ever things get moved around.
Great video les. You are the best. 👍👍
Thanks Really glad you enjoy them
Nicely shot with the 46100. Looks really cool.🚄
Thanks!

Thanks John. No need to miss avideo as they are all listed on my playlists linked at the end of each video and on my channel page.
Thankyou for another interesting video as always great sound and pic
Thanks that's much appreciated
Always enjoy my visit to Carlisle!
Thanks Euan
A steam departure from plat 4 is fairly uncommon. It certainly looks good, though you've got the drag of the curve there to make a little bit more of a challenge
IT looked and sounded great
They may just leave the branding on TPE like they have with Northern and LNER. Not sure what the point problem was. It looked like P way checking with a gauge the track around there does get a lot of hammer. Nice to see the steam charter as well
It depends on which parts of the branding is owned by First TPE. Remember the subtle change of logo on Northern. The Scot looked and sounded great
Another great vid, Leslie. Network Rail need to get some weedkiller put down around the tracks in and around the station though!
Definitely a concensus apart from at Network Rail!
Boa tarde lelie lindo trem gostei
Thanks!
I love the lush greenery between the tracks Les, are the station staff cultivating veg for themselves?
A little bit of topiary wouldnt go amiss, maybe some flowers
awesome video Les great veriety , royal scot sounded great looked like the problem with the points got cleared up , they must take some hammer during a days usage so many so many to rattle over which ever way you go , perhaps the roots from the garden's are getting in the way😂 as for the T P E vynals what ever happens dont supose the government will be paying, many thanks Les for sharing really enjoyed it take care a t b Syd👍😀
Thanks as ever syd
Leslie the way the weeds are taking over the rails at Carlisle station the drivers won't be able to see the track😊😊
I'm thinking of getting some garden gnomes in orange of course to dot around the station 😏
I think I saw you today at Carlisle station when I was coming back from school.
nice video
Thanks
Perhaps there was some vegetation (gorse, it looks like) jamming the points... 😇
Lol that was a network rail orange Gnome
Carlisle arboretum not station.
It's got more trees growing out of the track than RHS Wisley.
Lol - very true
Is it too early to say I'll miss the Voyagers yet? I've always thought they do sound great
Probably - they'll need them until all the 805s and 807s have come into service
I had no idea that the trackwork was in such poor condition even allowing for the effect of the telephoto lens. More like a run down narrow gauge railway.
It is embarrassing really - just still havijng bullhead rail there is bad enough.
I hope Avanti comes up with a better paint scheme on the 805s than that dreadful colour scheme on the 390 pendolinos.
I totally agree with you - with Italians still involved you'd hope for something stylish
@@LeslieGilpinRailways likewiseI expected some colourful Italian styling like the Italo units
