A question, if I may - are West Coast's Mk. 1 TSOs 4951 and 4994 still on hire to the SVR? Or have they now returned to Carnforth? Thanks!

I assume that the railway knew he was coming to ride beforehand. Just how useless are the supposed PR gurus in Park Street that they didn't have the sense to roster a steam loco footplate ride. Another opportunity missed.

I must mention the East Somerset Railway where the loco was restored. 41313 double-headed with visiting loco 41312 at the railway's steam gala. A third Ivatt, no.46447 was also in service that day. [BJ]

Agree 100% - 41313 will be a popular visitor. Having already crossed the Solent on different occasions to visit the Bluebell, Spa Valley and Swanage railways, perhaps this loco ought to qualify for a "frequent traveller" concessionary rate with...

If a diesel is required, and currently in drought stricken Kent there no doubt about that being 100% needed, then I think placing it behind the steam loco is the way to do it. Apart from the operational needs of that, for lineside photography I...
