Anyone for Tornado up Shap from Crew?

Shame its on a weekday.

 

Thats one date to check on my work rota. I wonder how Tornado will compare to 6233 or The Duke?

Neil.

 

OMG it's on my birthday, AND it's picking up at Tamworth. Work? what's that? Just need to round up a tableful! Let's hope for a dry rail, the right crew and then hello blue ribbon!

 

...... good job it's not Blue Peter eh Ralph? I still wouldn't rule it out ;-)

 

Booked! Anyone else going? We'll be in posh class, slumped behind a table full of empties, a large picnic and the remains of my birthday cake :hungry: arty: :tea:

 

Hmm - sounds dangerous! Don't worry, I'll be flying by on the train :bored:

 

Tornado can always whistle up for assistance from Tangmere at the water stop

 

Notice the date is the Queen's actual birthday; cue for "Elizabethan" headboard ?

 

An unmovable committment means I'll miss this - damn! Every confidence she'll romp over the summit

 

Now 'The Cumbrian Coast Tornado' routed via the Furness peninsular ! DOH!

 

It is however,fully booked.

 

There appears to be some confusion. 60163 is running Crewe - Carlisle (VIA SHAP) on 21st April, 2010 - return via Settle. Tornado comes off at Hellifield. The train is to and from Euston. Book through Steam Dreams - it isn't full yet but don't hang about!

 

How about the 26th july trip Goucester /Birmingham/Leicester/Harringworth, starts from Victoria

 

Just to clarify the confusion about 60163 in the north-west:
14th April, the Cumbrian Coast Express, out via Maryport, back via S&C. Sold out.
21st April, the Border Raider, out via Shap, back via S&C. Not yet sold out, it seems from UKSteam.
