Hmm. Wonder if I can persuade her ladyship if she wants to go. I did get her to go behind Tornado over the S&C last October.

SimilarDeltic 0600 Hud,0646 StalyStopper - 0615 Hud,) 0633 Staly.Stopping passengers trains use the up loop pfm at Marsden so itlooks lke it will require a nifty bit of regulation on the day when you have a frequent express service to Piccadilly to contend with

I would have thought that was probably the quietest time on the line. Even the frieghts are reduced working at the weekends. Any trains would hardly be wedged with commuters for work would they? Infact there wouldn't be anyone on them at that time on a Saturday morning.
