Hogwarts Express - Carnforth to Southall

[dave_wm]

Hiya,

Read about this on uksteam.info.

A few of my friends are fans of Harry Potter, and its supposed to be running through Sutton Park as far as I can tell between 1621 and 1650 tomorrow.

Does anyone know whats running - is the loco in steam and is it pulling the HP coaches?

Thanks in advance,

David

It should be in steam but it may only have a support coach. It depends where the Hogwarts Coaches are if they are at Southall or Carnforth. Its also running Sunday on the Shakespeare Express but that will be the Vintage Trains coaches

Thanks! Will it be towed by a diesel would you think?

 

[matt]

As far as I know it won't be towed.

Read Im the RM that It will be coach stock from the actual film,and that It will be hauled by a GWR steam locomotive,dont know what class though,i think it might be the "CASTLE CLASS".

I bet no harry potter fans will go but only rail fans haha!
Regards

Hi there,
Saw it come through Twyford yesterday, Alton Hall looked and sounded very nice, with matching set of coaches and 37 706 tagged on the back. The 37 brought the coach set back in the afternoon, very nice to hear too. Anyone else see it?
