    A mate of mine named his house Trimbush. His wife didn't realise it was the name of a steam loco until it was far, far too late to change anything.

    Was Trimbush an A3 ?

    I think I missed 7 in total. (And misspelled a few others)

    Maroon suits most engines (steam and diesel) if we ignore the prejudices.

    Wasn't it just the support coach that moved to Riley's for GB9, and 60103 is still at the NRM?

    Well, A3 Class 60103 is on display at York until May 8th, unless it's a copy.

    Really finger in the air guess, but without looking I reckon it leaves around 12 and gets back around 4...

    A copy may well have been cheaper!

    Seen timings that fit in with the above showing a Class 86 to York via ECML and a Class 66 back via Lincoln but it's noted as a GBRf operation.

    That's correct it's a GBRf special all dining train to York and back for the unveiling and naming of 66 779, the last one to be built for the UK market.
