    Thanks for that, hopefully I will be free to see the LE move in the Warrington/Golborne area and the loaded test from Langho on the Wednesday.

    I've read on a Midlands gen group that Mayflower has gone into the cement siding at Walsall, up the buffer stop end by the Wednesbury Road.
    Another later report says "All a bit second hand to me, but the word is that there's a broken spring on the tender."

    I have been informed that she should be moving tomorrow on the same timings.

    Edit, should have added that test run should be Thursday assuming move to Carnforth Wednesday goes OK.

    A path has also appeared for Carnforth Steamtown - Grosmont NYMR for Friday 03/05, same timings as the path that had been put in for 02/05. So safe to suspect that every move planned is only being put back a day, so suspect the loaded test round the Hellifield Circuit will be on Thursday 02/05 in the usual WCRC path.

    This may not be the case !

    According to Realtimetrains WCRC has activated the path for TODAY at 08:00 so something will be running on the test train but whether it will be 61306 or another WCRC locomotive only lineside observation will confirm.

    Can also confirm that there is a rake of WCRC Mk1's in the Carnforth loops as I passed only 5 minutes ago. Tried to spot anything in steam but was difficult to tell.

    At a guess, possibly No. 45699 or No. 46115 going out on a test today?

    Does anyone know if it is deffinate, as nothing posted via UK steam, and I need to get to see it at Wigan, as went yesterday and it failed due to the spring.

    I assume the same that were there at 7.00pm last night I think, nothing on either end at that stage.

    The path for the test circuit has been activated on RTT as has the move from Washwood Heath.

    Just to add to the confusion, informed that there is a rake in the loop at Carnforth T&T with 37's???

    Its just that I am unfortunately unemployed at the min, so money is tight, thats why I needed to know if she is moving today, but if is is going today I will get over to Wigan again, as its one loco I have not seen

    Hi Charterplan and welcome to the forum.

    Here is the link to todays run from Washwood to Carnforth on RTT. According to that due through Wigan at around 2.15pm but LE moves are more likely to run early/late that railtours.

    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O82586/2013/05/01/advanced

    If you are searching in future use the link Neil posted at post 19 and then type in the station that it will be travelling through nearest where you see intend seeing a tour/LE move etc. When you folow Neils link it will allow you to set times etc.
