Nice shots but I was expecting a peak and some MKIIs! But that is progress I suppose?!

[salopiangrowler]

very good. yes it is progress really considering the use of 3x150's would have made people happy back then, well except the bashers which is why i think alot of services went back to locohauled come 1988-89. i think i recall 47475 in transpennine livery on a rake of matching stock on a Llandudno-York service.

No its the newly realesed North Wales Coast Line, http://www.d8233.org.uk/msts_nwc.htm

Nice shots Chris! But driving a 150 when there are loads of engines to be driven along there?

Why not after all it is the Transpennine express, unbelieveable yes, but that working did happen and was regular on the coast till a stock shortage brought back locohauled.

I know, Hull - Holyhead's ran as well with 150s. It was kinda of meant as a joke.

I know, shame on me. , my fav. drive along the NWC is "Hamilton", manual firing, 14 bogies on the back, 250 lb " boiler pressure, 20% regulator with 17% cut off.
