Royal Scotsman set at Victoria this morning

[theageofthetra]

As I brought my less than regal 466 +465 int p3 at Vic I was a bit surprised to find this set sitting on p2- normally we get the Belmond set. I must admit the accommodation does look very impressive. Any idea what the tour is?

The Royal Scotsman is part of Belmond. I imagine this was a private charter.

A strange nocturnal visit to the Nene Valley on Tuesday!

I saw this set at Peterborough yesterday heading up north. Looked very smart.
