Which steam loco

[malc-c]

Hi,

Looking at the various railtour websites the Cathedrals Express (Steam Dreams) is due to run out of Kings cross tomorrow, hauled by 61306. But looking at the TO's website they show an image of 60009 union of South Africa against the tour. But on this site https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2018/0...-mayflower-on-tours-with-flying-scotsman.html it's stated that 44871 is to replace 61306 for tours in October.

Can anyone confirm what is on the roster for tomorrows trip ?)

See uksteam.info. http://www.uksteam.info/tours/trs18.htm
61306 is unavailable so 60009 is being used instead

Sounds like a pretty good trade-up...
