    LMS 'Princess Royal' class, 6201 'Princess Elizabeth will be in charge of UK Railtours 'Clapham Omnibus' tour.

    The steam route is: Crewe, WCML, Carnforth, Clapham, Hellifield, Skipton, Leeds Engine Shed Junction, Normanton, Healey Mills, Hebden Bridge, Todmorden, Manchester Victoria, Newton-le-Willows, Winwick Junction, WCML, Crewe.

    I believe this is around 150+ miles behind 6201.

    Yes, I'm booked on "The Pride of Swindon" that day. Wonder what the timings of the two trains will be at Crewe and Hellifield, will we get to see each other? VT told me to expect about a 7am departure from Tyseley on The Pride of Swindon.

    Coming from someone with 46236 as their user name I find that most odd, or deliberately provocative....

    6201 is currently sidelined awaiting the replacement of a number of large tubes and will not be available for 'The Clapham Omnibus'. The booked job for Steam Dreams to Nottingham on 24 September is cancelled, and 6233 is deputising on their 7 October to Bath Spa and Bristol TM.

    Except for what will actually pull The Clapham Omnibus.... maybe they'll have to hire in some buses instead....

    When I first saw this tour I thought it was starting with a Routemaster bus outside Clapham Junction!!

    This tour is no longer showing on the operators website - any news on whether postponed or cancelled?

    What a shame. UK Railtours have had a lot of bad luck this year. I hope it doesn't put them off running steam tours in future.

    All eyes will be on the Earl that day then....
