    Timings on RTT for an ECS departure from Stewarts Lane at 0410 on Monday 11th to Bo'ness with 455 tons at 75mph. Is steam involved, I wonder? The charter returns on the 12th to Victoria via York and thence to Southall LS. Edit - may have answered my own question - RTT shows no water stops back from York to London!

    For the next time given that anything out of Stewarts Lane is Belmond related..

    The Belmond programme is at:https://www.belmond.com/trains/europe/uk/belmond-british-pullman/
    The British Pullman programme with Clan Line is at: https://www.clan-line.org.uk/diary/

    The fact it's timed for 75 mph is no help with the British Pullman as it's limited to 75 irrespective of what is on the front.

    Yes, that was what I wondered. I did check the web sites but they showed nothing, as I would expect with a private charter. As mentioned, I could deduce nothing from the 75mph limit, either.

    Are the Pullmans limited to 75 mph?
