Are these the 3 days on 18 19 20 february flying scotsman goes to Dorridge I've been told otherwise that these are running in top and tail formation 60103 flying scotsman only pulling the train back from Stratford upon avon to Birmingham Moor St and the diesel loco leading on the outward to Dorridge?
I'm not sure what you are asking. As far as I'm aware the mid week trips are Birmingham to Dorridge and return. Diesel (37 or 47) leads to Dorridge. Flying Scotsman then works the train back to Moor Street at the advertised up to 75mph. This allows Flying Scotsman to be on the blocks at Moor Street so passengers can have photos next to the loco.
Yes it's OK matt that's all I needed to know thanks.
Did the UKRailtours/Pathfinder One Way Wizzo in April 2024 in BR Blue.
Yes, out of London though
It had to arrive there first to depart.
)It will likely turn on the Greenford triangle like the Castle trip they ran.
You would hope. The DTG's email asking their members if they wished to book included "Note we do not yet know whether D1015 will be hauling the train from/to Birmingham or Paddington. We understand that the plan is to turn the stock at Plymouth, but of course this cannot be absolutely guaranteed.".
But the train is calling at Oxford. Either it has to reverse at Oxford and again at Hanwell or it has to turn left at Ealing and reverse at Ruislip.Or I suppose there is Didcot but that seems unlikely.
Yeah but that's it we don't know and those that do know aren't saying, and as for the tour to Portsmouth the amount of different routes that it COULD go and still do the pick ups are truly mind boggling
Express steam 30 May and 4 July. Also I believe from another thread that the April trip to York and Newcastle has been rescheduled to 12 June.
Yes this is regarding 7029 Clun castle requiring alot more work needed on it than estimated previously at tyseley so it gets its 3 year extension on its boiler certificate. The newcastle tour has now been pushed back to 12 June new date on a Friday as well unusually meaning people who work wanting to go on the newcastle tour now can't as 11 April was a Saturday.
Thanks!
When’s it due to take place?
Today. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U80875/2026-03-24/detailed
I caught the Tornadr move at Moorthorpe yesterday:
The return trip is on RTT so a bit odd, pretty certain it is on - i had confirmation from them yesterday.
They have confirmed times on the Website now. https://vintagetrains.co.uk/the-nor...XVMTTYuMtiCZGtjPjg_aem_CRL-W8Usr9rMgsHXVQtHbA
Theres the 125 group hst tour which is pathing a similarish time so suspect why the delay and slightly later outbound times in places. Its a busy railtour weekend everywhere it seems.
