Oh wow, if anything was going to replace Tangmere, why not a stunning Black Five. A beautiful piece of Engineering. A refreshing change… Looked a really hot day, considering that we are now into September. Another super vlog Tim. Very good production (as usual!!) 👍🏻👍🏻
I always wonder how a 5MT is supposed to match the timings of a 7P5F. Of course I guess the same was true back in the day when a fleet of Thompson B1s, they themselves being 5MT, were called upon to stand in for the entire class of Bulleid pacifics when they were temporarily withdrawn to correct a major design flaw.
Great video as always Tim! Must’ve been nice to see a change instead of tangmere, cant beat a black 5! was 44871s driver the same driver as tangmeres on the 31st, i think i recognise him.
Hi Jonathan - good to hear from you. Yes, Black Fives are always welcome. The driver is Mick Kelly, one of the regular WCR crew and a very friendly man. Have a word with him if you bump into him when you're filming.
A nice change to see a Black 5 Tangmere has been flogged so much recently I am not surprised it failed again. It was really warm again today for my day out, now the climate has changed September is still a warm month.
Well, it's failed with a vengeance this evening - video should be online in the morning. Disastrous day for Tangmere but a lovely day for a trip to Appleby!
Very good video and nice to see a change of steam train this time but I noticed that the station wasn’t very busy in your video but good to see the Royal Mail trains are still working I wonder how long they will stay working Tim
If it’s road transport for the post from England to Scotland it will take a lot longer for anything to get anywhere it’s why the trains need to keep going or the uk will be going backwards in terms of the postal service and wouldn’t be good especially when there’s no post at the weekend now
Tangmere got taken off at Kirkby Stephen to be dragged back to Carnforth think through Carlisle, diesel charged past with the stock back to Carlisle to potentially use London road junction and go WCML
Thanks for that Michael. A bit of a blow for the passengers - and none too pleasing for the passengers on all the other trains affected by it. Hasn't been a good week for WCR I'm afraid.
Hi Tim, can you answer this for me please... why does Carlisle Station platform numbering start with 8 nearest the station entrance and 1 furthest away? 🤔
A serious failure I'm afraid somewhere in the Kirkby Stephen area, blocking the Settle and Carlisle line. I believe the charter train had to be hauled back to Carlisle by the diesel - presumably WCML then to London.

Impressive drone coverage Tim, excellent video complete with history info. of that vast amount of land. Lots of jobs in those days.
Thank you. Sorry for very late response.

Thank you. It WAS a hot day for hiking a mile or more each way with heavy equipment to do the aerial filming - but worth it, I think. Best wishes.
Great drone footage Tim, must find an old map of Carlisle to see the old lines around the station. Nice to see the 5 again.👍
Try this online - a site I use a lot.

@@schoolshorts Thanks Tim. Yes I remember him now he was driving tangmere and he gave me the big whistle while reversing.

@@schoolshorts Having seen the video you took of Tangmere I am glad I was not stuck on that following train to Leeds. What a disaster.
Great video/editing, what camera do you use please?
Thank you Michael. Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ82 and DJI Mini 4 Pro drone.
Very good video and nice to see a change of steam train this time but I noticed that the station wasn’t very busy in your video but good to see the Royal Mail trains are still working I wonder how long they will stay working Tim
Thanks Fraser. Mail trains - I'm not too hopeful. Best wishes.
The last day was yesterday
The preston dock bitumen trains are finishing as well. Going back to road transport.
You’re welcome Tim

Nice video Tim, nice change of engine with the Black Five. Hope Tangmere is not too worn out already??
Within the past hour she has failed again - reported to have caught fire and is blocking the Settle and Carlisle line near Kirkby Stephen.
@@schoolshorts Oh dear, sounds like I was right, it has been overworked!
Update on Tangmere tim, its failed near Kirkby Stephen and the 1533 leeds bound is stuck on the platform at Appleby
Oh dear - and it was going so well.

I'll need to do some research on this and will get back to you.
Has the steamer failed after leaving Carlisle.

@@schoolshorts Thanks Tim,late back to London as well.Thanks,best wishes.
