For anything to do with mainline steam tours all you need to do is bookmark THIS PAGE and keep an eye on it. Already showing 60007 to be the replacement for 70013 and 70000 is out on the same day as well

Personally I'm sceptical of 70000 making an appearance but I'd like to be proved wrong! As '33056' points out, keep an eye on the UK Steam website for accurate motive power info - it tends to be more accurate than even official websites which can, on the motive power front, represent a work of fiction. There are currently 2 operators promoting tours with 70000 on the same date next April and as for D1015 working one of the trains as well...

You're not the only one that thinks it won't be Britannia, we have heard no update after her big end failure on her test run to Carnforth but she did go back to Crewe so maybe they give her one more chance. If not, I have a theory what is going to pull it

70000 is at Carnforth having the problem, whatever it was, sorted. The loaded test run was intended to happen during the coming week last thing I heard so it may still make its booked working.

a friend of mine is booked on this trip and has had an email saying the Britania won't be ready for this tour.

 

[Bittern]

Quick question: What's happened to Ollie? Did a quick search, but little relevant info came up.

 

[33056]

Oliver Cromwell is under the care of the 5305 Locomotive Association, their website has regular news about all their charges.

If you like your "kettles" that much then join National Preservation Forum , always plenty on there regarding all things steamy.

PS: Hope the mods don't mind me posting a link to another forum, my opinion is that it complements rather than "competes" with this one.

So seeing as how that is the case, who is going to take over her duties? One of the 'Carnforth Kids' maybe? 44932 will still be at Southall?:roll:
