    Was at Moor Street Station from about 10.15 to 15.40 travelling on the 12.30 which returned at 13.30. Various problems: miserable weather, horrible new parking machines at Kidderminster, camera jamming during departure of first train, and a 68-hauled Marylebone train failing in platform 3 during the morning.
    But It was an enjoyable day after that, reminiscing with friendly Brummies for much of the time. As others have said, organization was very good with zig-zag barriers guarding the approach to Platform 4.

    Enjoying seeing people's photos of Scotsman over this past week. Nice to see that Scotsman is out where she should be, on the mainline.

    Have literally just seen it being pushed (unsurprisingly) through Solihull.

    Typically being pushed and pulled round by a diesel, though.

    Going off RTT times for last weekend's Stratford trips, it should be roughly as follows -
    • Outward - departs Moor Street at 1:42pm, arrives at Stratford at 3:02pm
    • Return - departs Stratford at 4:52pm, arrives back at Moor Street at 5:55pm

    The departure should be on your ticket email you received when you booked. Either way, its 13.30 departure from Snow Hill.

    Presuming it uses the same path as last week it got back around 17.55 (later than previously advertised).

    Hope you enjoy your trip tomorrow, very much looking forward to mine.
    The timings look identical to RTT on 14th February.

    I have to admire VT for taking on and running three days of main line activity this week , with the final day tomorrow , fitting into a busy City Centre station and around all the Chiltern and WMT local services . The VT staff and volunteers are working incredibly hard to deliver enjoyable trips . Having enjoyed an unexpected trip this afternoon, speed wasn't everything , it was Flying Scotsman on the main line, on my local line . The steward had come up from somerset and had done all four days , absolute credit to his commitment and for being so welcoming . Thank you to Richard, Peter, John, Sam, Alastair, Martin and all the VT staff who found the time and space to allow me and my two, some moments and photographs that will live long in the memory. Thank you also to the Northern steam members who again have made me and my two welcome

    Fair play as well to the Chiltern staff who absolutely embraced the event and could not have been more enthusiastic. To Lisa the station manager and all involved , you were fabulous . Also to the WMT and the security who have been spot on in my experience over the last few days

    I was initially happy to see 60103 coming to Birmingham , but having been out for almost every train its woven itself into a magic few days and some memories that will live on for a very long time

    I know I've been a little critical of the circus around 60103 , but for the last week , its been my engine too and one i've been able to enjoy more on my terms

    Seen a short while ago through Danzey - absolutely brilliant, working well and looking great!

    I think the platform staff provision, either organised by West Mids or VT, is overkill. I get that demand is expected to be busy but they're just contracted security as opposed to railway employees. I've seen far more people out for LSL circulars than what turned up for this with no security present.

    It's a bit silly really.

    Class 47 appears to be leading to Stratford for some reason, no explanation given on train.

    In conversation with WMT staff last night sadly there were instances of trespass last weekend especially on the first train. One had walked off the end of the platform and had set up a tripod and camera with tripod legs on the sleeper ends . the local facebook news page has been pushing the times since last friday and it was noticeable more people were out as the week progressed .

    so no its not silly, its needed because people don't behave .

    In fairness to the security, they have all been really good in my experience . they stayed out of our way for the images last night and we had an excellent catch up with them after 60103 going through

    How does this affect not running around at Snow Hill ? I purchased a ticket tonight as I thought it was a bargain for 45+ miles of scotsman haulage, not so much now.
