    Brilliant news 44871 is pulling the train! So happy for all the passengers they've got a steam loco. Hope to see the trip on Saturday!

    400 passengers on RTC's trip get steam. 1800 passengers on the Jacobite this week don't because 44871 is moving south a week early. WCRC need five steam locos this weekend, yet only two are fully fit, plus another that may or may not be able to leave Carnforth. Pathetic situation, and entirely of their own making.

    I completely agree with everything you've said, I was only pleased for those on the Railway 200 trip that they've got their loco. It's completely unfair the Jacobite passengers have no loco, I honestly had forgot about that side of it. Unfortunately as you said with the situation WCR are in, they will end up disappointing people and it's not right that is happening. The Jacobite passengers deserve steam just as much as the Railway 200 passengers.

    45407 is still there, I think it’s the afternoon train that’s now diesel
