Stood in that very spot first time I ever went to Grantham in 1970, copped 19 Deltics in one day!

19 in a day. Taking maintenance and works visits into account 19 must surely be a record at a single location and excluding Doncaster works.

Nice to talk to you, Graham. Thankfully the train was quite slow pulling into P4 lol. Fingers crossed we get better luck with Alycidon on 13th May, might have to come back to Grantham for that. Thanks for subscribing :) Cameron

Somewhat oddly the train itself, due to variations in the booked passing place stops north of Doncaster arrived Edinburgh just over an hour down on scheduled arrival time, which is not too bad.

It ended up having an exhaust fire somewhere between Grantham and Newark northgate and one of its engines having to be shut down
@AndreiTupolev Жыл бұрын
I think we're over dramatising slightly, just an engine shutdown due to coolant loss. It continued through to Edinburgh under its own power

@@AndreiTupolev one of my freinds freinds who loves in Newark told my freind that he saw a small exhaust fire from the rear engine leading to a shut down then it needed to do multiple other stops along the way to be inspected which they wouldn't do for just a coolant issue

It was certainly motoring though our village in Northumberland, the the 90's pantograph was deployed, so may have been assisting

From what I’ve heard the 90 did most of the work after Newark! Sounds a lot like the last time 9000 was out, where a 47 was doing most of the work from the rear

@highpath4776 I personally disagree with that statement, it depends on what condition the engine is in. As it wasn't 10 years ago when a deltic was hired out by GBRF for freight work.
