    Timings are out for Clan Line's trip to Worcester with the Pullmans. Assuming we get the significant railfall it looks like it'll be going unassisted throughout:

    Can't speak for the rest of the route, but here in Worcester we've had some rain every day for the last week.

    Status update today as per Railway Herald is still black in the south so even with the rainfall we have had no indication of a relaxation of the current ban. Unassisted maybe Diesel

    The cheapest GAOT around Kent with steam haulage is £590 per person.
    The Worcester trip would be two meals instead of one and greater mileage, so if you feel very rich it's a good deal.

    Cheers, Neil

    It should be the full BBP set plus a generator car. From what I have seen it is rare for Belmondo to run a shortened formation. The presence of a diesel loco will depend on fire risk for Southern and Western Routes.
