Any ideas please

 

I would have assumed it was steam for the last couple of SD tours, but isn't the black five already down at Southall for those?

 

Doubtful if it's planned for 95mph. <BJ>

 

Is it not the "modern coaches" referred to on the SD website for the Christmas trips. I assume the Intercity set?

 

You mean the "lovingly restored" Inter-City set!

Anyway, yes, I think that's what it is.

 

5Z34 Southal to Butterley via MML 6233 ,Wed 20/12 .Kettering 13.11,time at Leicester Humberstone Lane for water

 

does anyone know if Tangmere will be returning home for Christmas? If so, when this might be?

 

Been told that Tangmere is returning today.

With daylight dying rapidly, Bulleid Battle of Britain class 4-6-2 No. 34067 Tangmere, rushes towards Acton Bridge on its late running positioning move between Southall and Carnforth on Tuesday December 20th 2022.

 

45407 still moving on 29th, but going to ELR instead of Carnforth.
