Torbay Express this weekend. Does anyone know if this is running, seems from steaminfo it may not be , is there a problem with 6024 or 71000 that were due to haul this.? Hope there are no problems with this train later in the year as I am booked on it at the end of August.

I See that another Torbay Express has been cancelled towards the end of this month, does anyone know if they are not doing so well this year,? the fares are quite high now, the other company that used to run these trains, that went bust I think, did not charge so much. I Wonder too if they are getting competion from another firm who also runs steam railtour on Sundays from Bristol to Weymouth (or Tenby in Sept.) I Will keep fingers crossed that the TBEL that I am booked on at the end of Aug runs ok and with steam traction.
