I think the likelihood of it being 07.40 off Hudds if it leaves Crewe at 05.45 is unlikely - the past 2 tours which have done that have left Hudds less than 90 minutes after leaving Crewe (05.22 off Crewe was 06.51 at Hudds, and 05.16 was 06.44).

Tables for two (in 1st and Premier Dining) are about to sell out, so if anyone wants a table for two, book today.

Tickets for 1st, Std and Premier Dining still available if anyone else wishes to book, but you are advised to do so soon.

If any forum members are interested in joining our group, let me know.

Is there any Gen on the timings yet? As it stands its just too late for me on Saturday night.

Timings are still in the hands of network rail according to Retro's website and twitter feed, I'm hoping for a slightly earlier arrival time into Edinburgh, nothing on real time trains either, this is the best place to look for timings as once given to retro will also be given on RTT

Final timings now on their website: http://www.retrorailtours.co.uk/rt10.php

Hmm. Rather unfortunate 1 minute connection at Huddersfield to the TPE back to Leeds. Hope the driver puts his foot down (or whatever it is that a train driver puts down).

Delayed. Not yet departed Crewe.

Someone in Network Rail is having a bit of fun with the headcodes then

Quite normal really, D1015 is usually 1Z52, a Deltic 1Z55 etc and you should see the number of 0Z66s in the system
