90020 Welwyn North 280919 (1Z70)
90020 "Collingwood" (DBC - still in EWS livery, with the three beasts logo).
1Z70 : 0816 London Kings Cross - Carlisle via ECML, Doncaster, Leeds & the Settle to Carlisle line.
Wewyn North - 0844 (2 late) - 28/09/19 (in a very lucky patch of sunshine).
I don't think my local "Gen group" got anything right about this Charter, as it was variously reported as 86259 (probably due to an error on www.railtourinfo.co.uk), which was working 1Z86 from Euston today & the routing was shown as out via the Tyne Valley & return via the S&C, the opposite to what's happening (route incorrect on www.uksteam.info/tours/trs19.htm - probably left over from August 17th, when it was postponed) or as Donald would say FAKE NEWS!!!!!!!
The train arrived Carlisle 97 minutes late, after the "Skoda" failed & 1Z72 return, departed 95 minutes late. Any chance of making up time on return (behind 67020 from Tyne Yd), were thwarted when it lost over an hour between York & Doncaster (behind the 1615 Departmental from Widdrington to Up Decoy), eventualy arriving Kings Cross at 0134, a mere 191 minutes late (just like the good old days of the 1980's!).
