Thanks for that Derek, I wondered if we were due a swop.

Could do with a swap for 66171---and it might be sort of happening since the 6M16 hasn't progressed past Tees this morning so looks like it's cancelled today !

Yes, Radio Leeds have said the signals are out at York due to a lightning strike which is causing quite a queue looking on Railcam. If they get it sorted #6M16 may run eventually but I am going back to bed! Last night tonight. Not seen a list today so I don't know what is on Tees.

I'd forgotten about the disruption---I heard it on the radio as I went shopping earlier from the car radio. That'll be why it's stopped--it was booked 66171.or at least it would be as far as Tees.

They 'll probably leave it today, but we should then see 6M26 run tomorrow.

Looks like things are slowly getting back to 'normal'.^M16 has been cancelled but 6E26 is on it's way back. I assume it will come through here but it looks like New Biggin British Gypsum to Tees Dock Bsc Export Berth has a N/R for Cas but I wasn't up to see it as it was early. It has got as far as Milford atm.

#6E97 went via Pontefract Monkhill/Ferrybridge North Junction.

Thanks for that Bluebird!
