44932 was moving from Carnforth to Southall today (24th November 2010) i waited for the Black 5 at Rugeley TV but found out that it was Cancelled

On uksteam.info the information was up but then it dissapeared on the same day that it was due

anyone knows what's the matter with 44932 and why it didn't made the Move today becuase i had plans to see 44932 at Waterloo this Saturday

On a train somewhere in Europe
after looking into it i think its still in Southall and uksteam.info posted the times up by accident
No accident, move must have been requested by West Coast as times have been produced, put "in the system" and on a notice. Presume some loco arrangements must have changed since WCR first applied for the path.

In my nice Cosy Signal Box :)
I saw it on Wednesday 24th at Greenford roughly 20:15 - 20:35 being turned on the Greenford Triangle.

Caught me completely of guard on the walk home from Work.
It was like a Volcano and the Steam/Smoke could be seen for miles (due to the cold temperatures).

I waited in a muddy sports field to watch it come round Greenford South Jct with the regulator opened up once cleared the points.

I must add it is nice to see steam pass the GW LQ semaphores at Greenford.
