Interesting/Unusual trains in London Tomorrow

[TomJ93]

I'm off for a spot of bashing tomorrow I was wondering if anything unusual is due? Like the NMT, charters etc.

What diagrams is 91101 (The Flying Scotsman) on tomorrow? Would like to photo that too.

Thanks.

73's are out on the Track Recording Coach tomorrow down to Dungeness and back. Should be cruising through Clapham Junction at 1248 on Plat 15 all things being equal.

Is there a return journey? The Class 67 doesn't get me to London until 12:55!

That is the return journey, it's working south from Hither Green and returning to Selhurst.

Here are the diagrams for the Flying Scotsman mk4 set... these are from another website but from what I saw at Doncaster today they look right.

1E01 05.40 EDB - KGX 09.40
1D10 10.35 KGX - LDS 12.46
1A31 13.15 LDS - KGX 15.25
1S25 16.30 KGX - EDB 21.15

East Coast turn their 225's around a lot slower than Virgin turn around their Pendolinos, even though they have more (52). So the 31 225 sets spend a lot more time at the cross, although they do have 15(?) HSTs.

I have 27 minutes to get from Liverpool Street to Paddington, would I manage a quick stop at the Cross?

How likely am I to see a 379 at Liverpool St?

I wouldn't risk it on a 27 minute connection. You would probably be okay but you would only a few have minutes at most at the Cross and to be honest it wouldn't be worth the risk I think.
