The 9th August's Circular charter will also use 55022 to haul the train. There will be a carriage set aside for first class only (minus lunch) for passengers for £59.

Apparently 55021 ran to Oban twice in 1981 with a MkIII push pull set I'm told. It was considered the only locomotive at the time with a low enough RA and fitted with ETH so I'm told. How the MkIIIs fared, I don't know.
We won't be taking the risk however with ours - there will be a ETS...
Hi all. We've booked 55022 to haul the Cargo-D 'Circular' charter on August 9th. We thought it would look good with the blue/grey MkIII set. We've also responded to demand for a first class only option, so these are now available for £59.
We also don't know of any Class 55 hauling MkIIIs...
Hi all, just a note to say that RBS is running a handful of charters later this year. It will be a mix of Rail Blue and Grey MkIIIs and MkIIs, so at least it will look half decent! Go to www.rail-bluecharters.co.uk for more details.
Cheers
