Tornado / mallard, nrm - shildon

[STEVIEBOY1]

Hi,

does anyone know if following tornado's recent problems, if the planned for movement, tornado pulling mallard from nrm york to shildon, did go ahead? As i think the date for that was after tornados' boiler problems had started. I understand tornado is ok now and hope to see her later today pulling the vsoe british pullman. Rgds.

Ok, Great thanks for the replies/pictures.

Just saw Tornado go past the office window around 1305 hrs today, Friday 20Aug, pulling VSOE on a lunchtime circular....Glad she's back on the mainline again. Rgds.
