    I would assume all the Steam Dreams ones will be. Not so sure about the RTC Sherborne trip on Tuesday - the load may be lighter for that one.

    Few weeks ago I had an email from SD offering discount on various trips. I replied saying I was particularly interested in the Lincoln trip and others, if there would be no diesel. I didn't get a response.

    Well Wednesday's trip to Worcester has a LE path back out of Victoria, but I can't see it being used if were looking at load 10/11 with Sapperton on the agenda !

    The light engine path will be used for the diesel that brings the consist into Victoria. What RTT cannot tell you is what is happening at the other end - last week's experience shows that the assisting diesel will be immediately behind the steam loco.

    They may be tucking the diesel in behind, but it seems to me that the 5 is doing nearly all the pull most of the time, seems to be a hardworking show pony.
