ALTHOUGH the Locomotive Services Limited (LSL) Blue Pullman HST has had just one outing because of the imposition of a third lockdown, RM understands LSL plans have moved forward to create a second HST charter train.
On February 9, a rake of six Mk3 trailer cars was moved from Crewe to Arlington Eastleigh to be refurbished. Also moved was vehicle 41169 from the Blue Pullman set for remedial work.
The cancellation of Pullman tours in January and February could, if lockdowns are lifted, see the set working to Whitby on March 20.
Four of the Blue Pullman’s first six tours have already sold out.
