There are a couple of trains in RTT on the Tuesday that look like they are for this trip:

Worth bearing in mind Tornado failed at Rhyl this evening while returning from Holyhead to Crewe. I have no idea if this will impact on the tours next week though.

Hopefully not !
Reports suggest that the failure was of the air pump, I would expect that this item is fairly easy to repair or even completly replace.
Unlike say a boiler fault, or the breakage or distortion of some major part of the motion which would require extensive workshop attention.

on the timings if tornado is fit, Hellifield arrive from Crewe11.00/ depart 19.00 for crewe, what time it will depart for Carlile or return will depend on arrival of the train at Hellifield.

Steam Dreams are reporting that Tuesday's trip is cancelled: http://www.steamdreams.com/executables/GT410WebContent.exe?ActionCode=Timings "Unfortunately due to technical issues with Tornado this trip is now cancelled. All passengers will be contacted and a letter will be sent out on Monday" - Shame as I was due to be on it.

The website is silent on Thursday's trip.
