    This must be the most pig ignorant post of the month, did you even read Michael Whitehouse's post just above yours? VT have been completely open and transparent about diesel assistance (unlike others) and in my experience normally the diesel just adds an extra 100 tons of weight for the steam engine when it does accompany on their trips. VT have also run the only non diesel accompanied trips of the year so far, including sending one diesel light engine all the way to Plymouth!

    That is generally what happens when you make silly comments which have no basis in fact or for that matter nothing to do with the thread subject.

    I didn’t remove your post but can see why it was removed and fully support that decision.

    I’m not even going to comment on your other post regarding the diesel assistance other than to say are you for real? It’s not like VT wasn’t open and honest about the situation so not sure what you expected.

    We persevere because we still love the thrill of steam at 75mph, we owe an enormous debt to persons like Michael Whitehouse for keeping faith with main line steam and we are realistic that we will win some like Plymouth and to an extent lose some like this weekend most of which was down to the weather. I and many others bother because the world of steam will be a poorer place without the main line, DL on the back or not. It's 56 years since I thought it was over so I'm still living the dream.

    We’re off to Scarborough with VT on Saturday. Has anyone had their tickets and confirmed times yet please? I emailed Tyseley yesterday but no response so far.

    Two charters at Birmingham New Street at the same time on Saturday morning, quite a rare occurrence. Both departing in the same direction as well. Statesman diesel tour leaves platform 2 at 0809 heading towards Grand Jn. VT leaves platform 9 at 0812, also heading in direction of Grand Jn.

    See above and thanks to Sidmouth. No tickets but I normally print off from email booking confirmation where it says Get Tickets. Hope that works.
    The coach detail and seat numbers for the SE last Sunday came through last Thursday so maybe the Scarborough details will be today
