Cracking, brilliant, beautiful, nice video Stephen well done great camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video glad you got to see 35018 bye for now Philip
Every shot in this video is fantastic, that's some commitment to stay to see it even after it gets delayed so much. Must've been some truly nasty railhead conditions to cause this much of a problem for a loco as powerful as BIL, although I do seem to recall a similar incident happening along the same line this time of year with BIL a couple of years ago?
It always used to be standard practice in leaf fall season to have diesel assistance. Someone at NR and/or WCR made a booboo of risk assessment there 🤔
For some reason BIL was running at around 20mph at Wigton - no idea why as I dont think there was a p-way slow. Whilst at Carlisle we'd expected one of the 47s to stay on the train. Must have been some leaf fall on Friday night / Saturday morning after the RHTT had passed as elsewhere it was windy but dry further north. Lindal bank is very steep though on both sides of the summit and the crews don't get much opportunity to drive steam there.
hanks Les, yes it seemed to be slow in some other videos, guess these things happen, not for me to say, but a very late home for the passengers, thanks for watching . 🙂
Nice catch, was hoping to see this at Silverdale with being here for a week holiday but I heard it passing around 7:30pm from the pub which was quite impressive to hear the whistle from that distance
@@AndreiTupolev There was a slight 'tongue in cheek' side to my original comment. And I know that both BIL and Clan have made superb performances on the line over the years.
Yes it was nice here compared to the terrible weather elswhere, but its a shame it got to be so late for the passengers must have got back early the next morning .
@@stephenbrass1808 around 0100 at Bristol Temple Meads plus even later for Bristol Parkway passengers as that was closed so it was Taxi's from BTM for them. A long day.
Very nice Steve , glad you got 35018 in the end as I thought you might’ve gone home.
Thanks Steve, my better half was wanting to go, but i said wont be long, but glad i stayed to catch it, bet you glad you didn't chase it today. 🤔

Yes thanks for your kind comment, spam cams have a problem but especialy this time of year with slippy raihead conditions, cheers Steve .
That’s the reason why the tour was late due to 35018 suffering a wheel slip
yes indeed, thanks .👍
@@stephenbrass1808yeah luckily I caught the 47s working the outward leg of the tour earlier on that day in the early hours of the morning

Yes i guess there will be questions asked, not the first time BIL as had problems in Autumn fall .

Thanks Thomas, shame you missed it, one of those things that happen i guess .
Great video. It's a great line for steam special but perhaps a couple of coaches too many at this time of year
thanks very much, not sure what happened but heard it got stuck on a greaser point ??
Load 12 plus two Duffs…equivalent to load 19!
Thanks for watching 👍
But they were designed for the relatively flat Southern lines: talk about a fish out of water...
You think there are no hills to climb on the southern? 😁
Not at all, the Southern Exeter line was pretty hilly. Besides, it's put in some excellent performances over Shap and the S&C

Sad. She was already running significantly late at Harrington, causing me battery failures.
Ah well - worse things were happening on the East coast.
