    I'm not sure that I see the point of your post Al? Moaning about not having any info on the trip yet stating it's sold out though. A sold out trip surely tells you it's a win win all round not only for Belmond but Clan Line and the MNLPS. I hope the Pullman trips keep selling out as mentioned so '28 can still keep strutting her stuff, eventually I'll get round to having a trip on one and I'll make sure she's on the front too.

    To get at taste of the complexities of turning an engine out on a main-line charter, please have a read of the report on the 15th May trip to Bath and Bristol in the News section of the MNLPS website (www.clan-line.org.uk). Many would regard London to Bristol as a pretty 'straightforward' operation - and it went utterly smoothly - but the piece reveals that being a support crew member requires commitment, dedication and attention to detail to make it happen. It's only a hobby you know......!

    In which case as I live in Wales I will no longer comment on any railway activity in Scotland or England. I will also remember to obtain my degree in advanced railway operation before I post anything further.

    If this is how older 'enthusiasts' treat young volunteers on our heritage railways then our hobby is in serious trouble.

    Private charter with the Pullman set. Pretty much normal times and route.

    If it was a surprise how did you manage to set up for a video? I'm just jealous, as I live in Betchworth, saw the coaches pass from my garden and had no idea it was running! Couldn't find any reference to it anywhere and assumed it was 67-hauled.

    I saw the timings and wondered what it was myself. The 'surprise' bit is the fact that it was indeed 35028 and not a Class 67, there was also rumours from fellow enthusiasts.

    Clan Line is off to Stratford upon Avon on 10/7. RTT shows it returning from Oxford on the FL to Southall. Now that's rare.

    Serviced but not turned as turning isn't necessary.
