I'm booked on said tour, but I don't know timings yet.

The route was due to take it over the now closed Nuneham viaduct, and they've not yet announced what the plan to deal with that is.

I think it is intended to be a circular tour. If I remember rightly the same tour that was cancelled last October was due to go Birmingham - Shrewsbury - Hereford (break) then through Bristol, Bath and up through Oxford back to Birmingham. As said above it now won't be going via Oxford, but I'm sure they'll find a route just as good!

If it running could go via Cheltenham

Is this advertised on VT's website?

Scrap that comment, just remembered you said that you're booked on it. That would make sense considering they plan to reopen Nuneham viaduct on the 9th. Please keep us updated.

They're now attempting to re-route the return leg through Chepstow and Lickey incline.

Still have a few guaging issues to sort though so not 100% yet.

I had a cracking day out.

We were running late up to Shrewsbury but made the time up by not having to wait at English Bridge. After that it was fairly punctual.

Great scenery, there are some good videos from spotters if you look around YouTube.
