    And anyone wanting verification of some detail could always call them on a telephone and speak to a real person.

    Here's my footage of LMS Black Five no. 44871 hauling the West Somerset Steam Express to Minehead. I filmed the Black Five at three locations along the West Somerset Railway. I filmed the engine at Longlands Bridge, Churchlands Bridge and Washford. I hope you enjoy the video.

    it is available and I'm sure the group would like to see 45596 out on the main line earning her keep. Not BLS fault 45596 can't be used and on this one
    RTC's loss is Peak Rails gain .

    Nice effort by the '5'. Obviously the diesel gave some help and that's to be expected. The Class 8 on 9th July needed none.

    I see the Tynesider with that rare track has been bounced to June 2025. This must be the most moved RTC trip that, actually, is unusual and in this case triggered by NR. Although moving it to next June feels to me like the 'repeat itinerary' at work rather than anything else NR related.

    I see on the RTC website that Clan Line is currently listed for the Sherborne and Three Bridges to Bath and Bristol tours in December.
