    Tornado has reportedly left her support coach in Alloa loop this evening due to a bad flat. Northern Belle seems to have terminated at Stirling - two hours late - and remains there now.

    Diesel en route from Carnforth to Edinburgh Joppa as a Class 5 - new support coach in tow?

    Wow they really are pulling out on the stops so the White Rose runs with Tornado at the helm!

    And I believe there is a good reason for that, but it is not for me to report. Sorry

    Latest SVR Branchlines reports both 13628 and 4930 are to be moved by rail to Derby for the Greatest Gathering around 21st July. Both former mainline favourites, but the first time on the mainline for either loco in a number of years - 40 years for Hagley Hall!
    A number of diesels, 4 coaches and a DMU are also being sent and are presumably also likely to be moved by rail.

    That's interesting. Gotta be honest I've been amazed by the efforts pulled off to make this trip run with Tornado. As someone who planned on seeing it and thought for sure it wouldn't run with Tornado I am very pleased!

    This movement from the Watercress Line back to the SVR appears to have been cancelled as it is no longer on Realtime trains.
