Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Flying Scotsman at Harringay today about 2115

Sorry for the short notice - information is being withheld on most of the usual sources.

Open Train Times reports the return leg of today's Cathedral Dreams trip to York, hauled by Flying Scotsman, will pass Harringay about 9.15 pm.

Detailed times (not sure if they will be updated live) here: http://www.opentraintimes.com/schedule/U59843/2016-05-19

And the 'do not pass this point' signs at the platform ends will be universally respected.....

Could that be a red herring to deter watchers?

Sadly it's true, the National Railway Museum posted this on Facebook late this afternoon:

'We're really sorry to announce that Flying Scotsman has suffered a mechanical problem and will not be able to haul today's run from York to London. The remainder of the run will be hauled by a diesel engine and all passengers have been informed.

We share your disappointment at this news, but unfortunately some problems are always possible when operating an engine of any type and age on the rail network. Our priority is now fixing the problem to ensure Scotsman is back in operation as soon as possible.'
