    Times are now available for the re-dated trip to the MNR, with 61306 still the loco of choice. Times look identical to Aprils

    Steam Dreams seem confident that the B1 will be ready to run the Norwich trip and that it will be active on Tuesday. I hope that confidence is well warranted.

    News from FB that this tour is postponed due to problems with Mayflower, to be rescheduled to the 4th July.

    Strangely it coincides with what happened about a year ago when both 60163 and 61306 had issues. Quite a coincidence. Will weigh my options when the letter gets sent.

    Received the email, disappointing but at least I can cancel the hotel, may well keep the tour booking for July. Hopefully the B1 will be fully fit sooner than later.

    I'm a bit disappointed because it's the only tour this year going through my home station. At least it's still running at some point. Oh well
