    34067 at Biggleswade this morning. Nice to see steam on the ECML and it not bloody raining! Good to see @Johnb later in the day.

    This is very early but timings are live for the Sussex Belle on real time trains. Once again it's taking an alternative route via West Norwood before rejoining the mainline at East Croydon. Looking forward to this railtour as it's my first railtour I've been on in awhile. Can only guess that 44871 will hopefully pull the trip, should be out of winter maintenance by then.

    London Victoria to Eastbourne

    So showing the "excellent paths" that tours get (despite not being in RTT or any other system) the Whitby Flyer based on the confirmed timings on the RTC page is passed by 4 trains between Kings Cross and Stevenage and that is using a 100 MPH loco and with a departure time of 05:42. All presumably due to the 2 track section.
