    This looks like her run down to haul the Belmond

    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U53176/2015/09/10/advanced

    Edit Now been told she leaves Wansford this Sunday at 1350. Destination presumably somewhere in the metropolis.

    Edit again Sunday's run is only on NVR metals so ignore.

    There's also a couple of related paths in and out of Acton reception followed by, presumably, the same train going back to Scarborough in the afternoon.

    I noticed that too. I wonder if it's the WCR engine that's going a long way round from Mid Norfolk to NVR on 9th Sept ending up at NVR at 11pm? In which case I will go back to my informant for any updates.

    Just wondering if the Royal train could run top'n'tail by 2 steam locos or is 60163 purely on standby? Be nice if both locos were used methinks. :D

    Since DBS have had to resource 2 crews for the light engine move its not beyond the realms of possibility for the Royal train to be top'n'tailed although one of them will have to be
    turned first.
