    I joined a Boscastle shed tour recently. I found it fascinating to see the various locos at different stages of overhaul. You really get an insight into just how much of the work depends on bespoke hand finishing and fitting, as opposed to...

    AWS issue with Scotsman apparently. looks like it was a good move having the 37 along then, certainly saved a lot of delay having to find another driver and a light engine from Tys to recover the train and passengers from SOA.

    Would the cab equipment still not be triggered? Beyond by technical knowledge im afraid! Either way, the 37 was needed tonight and clearly someone's judgement to include in the formation today was spot on. I shall duly wind my neck in and hope...

    And that is something that could have flagged as a potential issue on the run down from York, so 37 likely provided as cover on this basis and has proven its worth. Hopefully a quick fix.

    Seems like we have an answer for the presence of the 37, hope nothing too serious :(

    Michael Whitehouse himself suggested all Shakespeare's would be unassisted in the opening post of this thread. It's the primary reason I booked for next weekend, its a very expensive trip otherwise- but hey ho, glad it didn't interfere generally....

    Do we know why the 37 was included today? Won't be for train heat as its not ETH fitted.

    I think @NathanP is referring to the Dorridge trips next week.

    I'll be quietly hoping for that next Saturday! Although its been a very long time since ive done the North Warwickshire northbound, so could be there are some stretches above 60mph for steam now. Either way, very much looking forward to my likely...

    Their advertising on this has always been a little off. The "final seats left" email that they sent this morning talks about Flying Scotsman departing central Birmingham at mainline speeds. But as far as I'm aware the outward journey is...
