2019 British Pullman steam

Thanks Matt. Passengers alight at Warwick Parkway for buses to Mary Arden's house and similar attractions, I suppose? Whole train proceeds to Tyseley LMD for servicing; reverse, DL-leading, to Stratford; Steam leads from Stratford back home. Quite an efficient way to do it. Via Oxford both ways, I see.

 

Moves in for diesel to and from Stewarts Lane in the morning and evening, so looks like the Tyseley to S-u-A move is 35028 tender first with the stock. That'll be different! Not a lot of time at Tyseley for servicing either.

 

Looks like tender first.
Timed at 45mph on RTT.
Also running to Stratford upon Avon via the North Warwick Line. (Tender first at 45mph is not allowed on the line via Hatton).

 

I presumed DBC would send one from Bescot or somewhere, but if not then so much the better

 

Am I missing something here, as I can't see the path to Stratford for the passengers layover ? Only the TF 45mph run at 16.09 off Tyseley after servicing.

 

Passengers get off at Warwick Parkway and back on at Stratford

 

Strange, they'll need transport then. What's the point of that, considering the vast money being spent to travel in style and then to be dumped on a regular service train. I'd want dropping off at the location, it's the bare minimum to expect.

 

It will be a coach...

 

Bizarre, imagine if there's no toilet !

 

This is more than just a trip behind steam it is also to visit some of the local attractions.

 

Looking immaculate (as usual) at Didcot North Junction this morning!

 

No diesel involved, other than at Victoria.

 

Any station slacks on the return, Wayne, Wilmcote ? Radley ? Etc, Regards

35028 Clan line roars through Stratford Parkway on the return leg of today's tour.

 

Wow - wish I had been in video mode for that one... Clan Line just went through Reading Platform 10 at warp speed with her whistle held open for half the platform (due to lots of commuters waiting for following train). Glad I stayed late in town after work
