- Tangmere and the Midland Pullman at Carlisle
Plus some Freight!
28 Oct 23
On one of the last and increasingly infrequent 'excursion Saturday' at Carlisle's Citadel Station, Tangmere brings in the Northern Belle, via Shap and heads south via the Settle & Carlisle line. Immediately afterwards, the Midland Pullman arrives via the S&C from Paignton.
Curiously the Pullman set was turned after servicing. To please the passengers or are the controls in one power car preferable to the other?
Regular passenger and freight for a Saturday afternoon too.

Great video as always! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
What a sound from 68017 through my new speakers. Blimey!! Steam and a HST. Love it. Nice one Leslie all the best.
Thanks Tim. I think 68s are up there with 37s for thrash
great video Les some nice camera work there matey i noticed the blue pulman was on its way to Paignton, my word thats a journey and a half --how long would that take, crikey .
well done Les, many thanks for sharing stay safe a t b👍 Syd
Thanks! I think they set out around 5am
A beautiful series today, but all my focus was on the Tangmere and its coaches. Awesome train and more. Which class is that again?
Thanks Anthony. Tangmere is a former Southern Railway 'Battle of Britain' class pacific designed by Oliver Bullied. They were named after wartime RAF airfields, squadrons and chief officers. Designed to be able to run over lines not suited for the bigger Merchant Navy class locos.
Bom dia movimentação dos trem leslie bom
Thanks
Great video Les, that Midland Pulman was a strange one, Paignton is a really awkward station to get to, it's not even on the mainline.
Thanks! I presume that the Pullman starts out and terminates at Paignton when there is nothing else on the branch.
A good day there for you with no rain for a change, Ha racing wheelchairs only , must be because these trains were sprinters with the running man icon.
Perhaps they expect their passengers to be fit enough to catch a moving train!
@@LeslieGilpinRailways LOL
Did you know the steamer failed at Lindale on its way back to carnforth and had to be rescued by the two diesel locos that left Carlisle earlier that afternoon reason Leaves on track lost all traction on Lindale hill they are videos on RUclips showing it getting rescued two and a half hours later they were stuck late return home for passengers
Pretty sure that was the week before this with a British India Line, a different steam loco! I think you know this though because I just saw your other comment!
As you realised it was BIL the week before. It came to a stop just south of Dalton Tunnel (between Dalton Junction and the tunnel. The locos that had been taken off at Carlisle were sent from Carnforth to rescue the train.
Why does the HST need to turn Les?……. Forgive my lack of knowledge…….
Absolutely no idea - stumped me too! You'd think they'd want to share out who sat backwards. Maybe not.
@@LeslieGilpinRailways Hadn’t thought of that Les…..
Classic slippage from Tangmere.
Indeed! Thanks for watching
With all that steam ejected before departure it is not surprising that TANGMERE suffered wheel-slip. Why is it done? Surely not to annoy the photographers wanting good departure shots - or is it? Turning an HST set can only mean that everyone who travelled back-to-travel did so for the whole day.
My understanding - and really we need to ask a driver - is that the regulator valve, steam pipes and cylinders are flushed of cold steam to prevent priming - where the regulator can become uncontrollable and excessive slipping to occur before the loco has moved, causing much damage. During the summer you don't visibly see it but when it gets cold as here the steam is obvious. Hurts the ears too.
Interesting that they "turn" the Midland Pullman, Must be just a logistical move.
Seemed odd to us too at the station. Perhaps an important passenger wanted to sit facing forwards both ways - more likely one power car has some minor issue if its at the front - seem to recall that before
Sorry wrong train
Thats ok
