    The regular list of fully booked or limited availability with RTC’s day trips says otherwise. That’s not forgetting their extensive world tours programme; your evaluation of them heading in a downward trajectory just doesn’t hold water.

    There was a post on wnxxforum.co.uk the other day saying some of the well-ventilated Mk2s that moved from Southall to Carnforth the other day were going to be moved across to Hellifield. Good chance it's that.
