    Prince Charles and Camilla are to visit Manchester, as part of this visit the Royal train headed by the A1 is to visit Liverpool Rd Station now MOSI. This takes place on the 4th Feb 2010, the site will be SHUT (with no pubic access) for the visit, but will be open it is hoped, from around 11.30 onwards for people to view the A1 untill it leaves the site later in the day (still awaiting a time). The royal party are to view MOSI,s rep' Liverpool and Manchester Railway PLANET locomotive and 0-4-0 AGECROFT 1. PLANET is to be in steam for the event.

    PLEASE NOTE;
    due to the type of visit it is the above could change.

    Well, the only other loco that has hauled the Royal Train on the main line is 6233 Duchess of Sutherland, and that is currently undergoing repairs.

    Regards,

    He has always expressed an interest in heritage and preserving the past as well as looking ahead to the future and I think part of that is steam locomotives. To answer the question yes.

    News latest is that A1 "Tornado" will be available for viewing by the general public from around 11.30am until its departure time at 12.15pm. (However, MOSI stresses that this may be subject to change due to any unforseen changes that may occur stemming from Network Rail or The Royal Train operation)

    The viewing time is only a short window but "Tornado" will be right by the main gate in the platform for ease of viewing, actually visible from Lower Byrom Street.

    "Planet", fresh from winter maintenance will also be in steam in the Powerhall Yard area. Visit to see "Tornado" but also take the opportunity to see "Planet" ex works and freshly painted by Railway Volunteers (mostly courtesy of "504") "Agecroft No.1" will also be on display inside the powerhall, showing off work recently undertaken by Railway Volunteers.

    It is said that Tornado will be coming down from Preston to Manchester and then leaving to go to Crewe. Routes unknown.

    Would be interested in the move from York to Preston if anyone has any info. Although i fear it could be retrospective.
    Regards,
    John.
