Sounds like the SSE is having a rum time of it this year. Oh well at least I saw my A4 as scheduled :-)

Erm.....What's happening on the Scarborough Spa Express this year...is it cursed?

3 Engines booked to run it
Union of South Africa
Duchess of Sutherland
Duke Of Gloucestershire

So before it starts, Duke of Gloucester broke, Bittern to stand in......Bittern not ready, Lord Nelson going to take over......Lord Nelson broke.

Final Line up
Union of South Africa
Duchess of Sutherland

Duchess to wide for the Harrogate Circle, now running to Scarborough only, 47 taking the rest of the route

Black 5 Sherwood Forester steps in for the Duchess, runs 1 week, Union last week (Union goes home for a bit) Black 5 this week, extra bank holiday run.
Runs Tuesday, and fails at Church Fenton, Duchess has to run Wednesday and Thursday, and Black 5 can't do Cumbrian Mountain Express, so 8F 48151 is up instead!

Hmmmmph.....
