No problems for Green Arrow yesterday, as she managed the Settle and Carlisle with 10 coaches and no diesel assistance ! I've discovered some spectacular photos already online....

Hi Jonathan He!
I waited over a month to see Green Arrow at Grimsby Station but at the last minute the RTC said "class 47 diesel would pick up passengers at Grimsby Cleethropes and so on".
This is not fair to the Railway buffs, of Grimsby because steam trains are almost never seen in Grimsby.

Are you suggesting that the tour should have started in Grimsby instead of Hellifield ?

There was a little steam coming off and a few drips in the Loco prep area at the NRM today...that'll be why she wasn't in the workshop!
