Is anyone on here going?

Also, anyone have any idea what the likely locomotive/coaching stock will be for such a service?

West Coast 47/57's (t&t).

No - it's a DRS operated train and booked for a pair of 47s.

Just found that out, got original info off of Railtour Info which is obviously wrong.

That site is, unfortunately, regularly wrong with its traction listings and is best treat with caution. I've spotted no less than 6 other errors in the diesel tours for September alone!

Oh no! I'm on the Forth & Tay Midlander on the 27th, any cock ups there?

As far as I know, that one is correct.
