Quite! Hence why a 40 from Northampton to Taunton/Kingswear, a hugely attractive crank tour, wasn’t even advertised as such.
There’s clearly a much more lucrative market with repeat itinerary wine & dinexs.

They are always announced a bit later and a bit more adhoc, often in small batches.

Today's Jolly has 20107+20118+20132 on top and these should finish at Scarborough tonight. Going forward from York tomorrow, presumably ?

It looked excellent coming through Rotherham with a trio of 20's on the front!
Can anyone confirm what tomorrows 6Z93 1106 Barrow Hill L.I.P. to Worksop Down Reception is likely to be please?

They sounded very nice thrashing up Airedale just now.

I must say I was very envious looking on today. I was meant to have a trio of 20’s on the DRS Class 20 Farewell tour, but only two were fit on the day.
An idea for Intercity railtours perhaps?

Are LSL Statesman tours always diesel hauled?

I think a Class 90 has also been used?

Oh in that case, I should probably re-phrase the question slightly to "Are LSL Statesman tours ever steam hauled?"
No - LSL steam is with SRPS, Saphos and Steam Dreams.

Thank you
I presume the only difference with the Statesman compared to the Intercity offerings is that they don't advertise the traction type in advance?

Statesman is 47s or 57s only and on the Mk2 set, Intercity is (generally!) with the Mk3s.

Sold out now, though!
(Only first class, not at a table for two remaining).
Two small updates with regards to these two.
57302 won’t be too far off heading back to Crewe.
007 however, to quote James Bond, isn’t expected to talk and is expected to die.

57302 is the last 57/3 I need to see.
Presumably my best chance of finding out when it's leaving Eastleigh is to keep checking RTT?

71000 has been unassisted with a rake comprising of mk1s and 1 mk2 all in the same livery

Blimey, no I certainly wouldn't expect that class 57 cabriolet conversion to catch on as a style.

The 4th unassisted steam tour of 2025 getting rare as hens teeth nowadays without a oilcan tailgunner on charter steam tours.
