37 regging away on the back - again. Passengers on this train, I was one, knew nothing about this until seeing the YT videos the next day. This was, without doubt, the most disappointing railtour I have ever been on, and all down to the choice of carriages. I have better things to spend £400 on (travel, hotels, food, tour) so I will not be doing another one until fresh-air stock returns. Watching tours on YT is free, the seats are comfy and I can open a window.

I get where you are coming from but it wasn't like your average steam charter where the 47 is always pushing, the 40 had numerous issues and shut down etc so I don't blame WCR for helping out, plus I'd prefer the sound of a 37 😅

[@TonyW590]

@@CDMtransport : As a passenger, it would have been nice to know the 40 was having issues - we were not told and we could not hear it to tell. They may as well have left the 37 on the front, as it was when it arrived at Crewe.

@@TonyW590 Oh well thats a shame, I thought Pathfinder would have been better!

[@TonyW590]

@@CDMtransport : So would I, and that is just another reason not to do any more of their tours.

Looked amazing but something doesn't seem right there. The 40 doing a good DVT impression with the 37 doing a lot of the work, it was the same all day from other clips I've seen. Still better than cancelling the tour.
