    I assume this will just do one trip between Toddington and Winchcombe at the start of the day when it's difficult to get there by public transport, as has happened in the past with small locos like the Calley Tank, Sentinel JOYCE and the Burrows Well Tanks.

    Is the Standard 4 tank still coming down from Bo’ness for the spring/ summer?

    We are looking at squeezing in a run more towards the middle of the day, as we are aware of the inferred issue above. To be fair the Caley tank would have been on plenty of full line passenger trains when it visited in 2019 but for issues that despite some truly herculean efforts by some key people couldn't quite be resolved. It did start the Winchcombe shunt slot pretty much by accident though, without that we probably wouldn't have had any reason to go for Joyce or the well tanks at all.

    No, that has effectively been replaced by Manston due to issues with the Std 4 tank.

    Booked up my hotel in Cheltenham for this one (which should be a better than the one I booked last year!)

    Looking forward to seeing the Coffee Pot and 78022 for the first time, plus the Caley Tank in that stunning maroon.
