Cotswold Explorer railtour, 6.4.2019

[Peter C]

The Cotswold Explorer railtour is running today between Dorridge and Oxford. If you have any thoughts/things to say on this subject, say them here if you wish.
Can anyone confirm that the return service will be the
126Y 1735 Oxford - Dorridge? (EDIT)

This service is being hauled by GWR "Castle" Class 7029 "Clun Castle", in BR Green livery. Having seen a photo this morning of the railtour, the coaching stock is primarily Pullman/Chocolate and cream with some maroon stock included.

Thanks.

Yes the return is the 17:35 from Oxford http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U10735/2019/04/06/advanced. Stock is a mixture of Chocolate and Cream Mark 1s and Mark 2as plus water carrier GUV at the front and 47773 at the rear.

OK. Thank you very much. I've never seen a railtour with a formation like this so it will be quite interesting.

Very good. Are you going to see the service on the return journey and make another video?

Not of this occasion, I was just seeing the outward trip.

Saw this leaving Lye on a WMR 172 this morning - a nice consolation for not seeing Tornado at Stourbridge due to a cancellation.
