Thank you team! I will head to WCML , having stupidly missed Blue Peter yesterday, due to my own stupidity!
I think the timings are, in fact, on realtime trains but split into Cardiff to Hereford, Hereford to Chester, Chester to Carnforth and then, I assume, Carnforth to Grange-over-Sands?
I may be wrong, of course!
Hi Peter
Yes the timings are split and I have added them in, still looking at those from Carnforth for this and the next day, and will add them in once plans confirmed
Morning , the line North of Hereford as far as i know is still closed, due to a problem with a culvert under the line North of Craven Arms.
The route has been changed, details of the new route/timings are above
I suspect that the train will be stabled overnight at Carnforth at the end of day 3, and the passengers will go by coach to Grange over Sands for their overnight stay. The train will then come from Carnforth to pick them up at Grange over Sands on day 4 for the trip up the Cumbrian Coast.
In that case, the passengers would not have the pleasure of crossing the Kent viaduct at Arnside.
If the train is stabled overnight at Carnforth, it will cross the Kent viaduct between Arnside and Grange.
We’ll have to wait for details.
