Is it using the new turntable between 1317 and 1403?

There's a few photos of *cough* 5972 on the new turntable floating around google. Would be nice to see photos of No.9 on it if anyone could get them

The leading bogie of the support coach is derailed in Platform 10 at York. Not good.

Very fortunate the coach was derailed and not No.9

Network rail need to get their act together, first 47500 in Manchester and now this

No mate was already facing the right way.

Shall we confine further posts about the derailment to the "LNER News" Forum's "It wasn't the engines fault" thread, here?

Goodo. Any news on the whereabouts of the smokebox numberplate?

In the support coach. Ran out of time to re-fit it.

Think your making a bit of an assumption there. Its not yet known what caused 47500 to derail. I know that the people involved are keeping very shtung about it at the moment about it.

Copied this from NP posted on (29-1-13)

Two interesting bits of news today , seems a check rail has mysteriously appeared on Ordsall Curve over the weekend and today NR have put out a safety notice (forget the official name of said docuement) and contains this interesting bit -

Class 47 loco being hauled at the rear of an empty train derailed all wheels due to flange climb
The wheels on the loco had just been turned on a wheel lathe. It had only travelled a few miles from there
A short section of track in the vicinity was below 160m radius. It was not fitted with a check rail
Rail flange lubrication at the site was ineffective
The derailment may be the result of a fault on the loco, a fault with the carriages, ineffective lubrication, or a combination of them together with other factors
Effective rail flange lubrication on sharp curves is an essential risk control measure, not only to protect rails and train wheels from excessive wear, but also to reduce the risk of flange climb

However we will need to wait and see what any RAIB report into the incident tells us but there was another case of Flange climb at Reading
