    Maybe I've called this the wrong thing as its about LE moves rather than the tour itself.

    Went past Cardiff Canton on a HST set today and saw numbers 50044 and 50135 in the yard. '044 and 50049 are due on a railtour from Euston this coming Saturday so does anybody have info on when the pair are making the trip from Cardiff to London? Any info would be greatly appriecated.

    Is there anywhere on the web where these times are? Pitty they aren't returning 2 days later, I could have hitched a ride back from seeing England vs Wales haha

    Posters on RailUK saying that only 044 made the move from Cardiff to Wembley yesterday. Will have to wait until the morning to see whether this is true or not.

    A colleague went to Slough to phot the move, and I can confirm after seeing his efforts, only 044 was in attendance.
