    I would have thought that, if they could be moved by rail from Carnforth to Hull, they could have been moved by rail from East Grinstead to Hull.

    Someone on a local Facebook gossip page suggested that a steam loco was at Haywards Heath station today at some point, but a quick look on RTT hasn't brought up anything (apart from a couple of freight movements) and it can't have been the movement that brought 34059 back to the Bluebell as that returned yesterday and would presumably have come a different route.

    Anyone got any further info or just a mistake on the group members part?

    Edit: I think it might have been a mistake on the posters part, as they just mentioned hearing a whistle which might have been related to the nearby High Weald Steam Show.

    As far as I know it was having a few bits sorted in Crewe after it returned from the SVR. I think it was due in the paint shop a week Monday.
