Tornado's 09 Tour Programme

Just been told tornado has been failed with firebox problems. Anyone know if its true?

 

I have to admit it did seem to be 'steadily does it' between Doncaster and York on the last two saturdays, and 'Tornado' has had quite a punishing schedule since it came out the engine shed doors at the end of Junuary. Is it begining to take it's toll?

 

excellent news look forward to seeing her on the 'Settle Carlisle' runs. Anyone know the times of the L/E run up to York tomorrow?

 

Keep up at the back. I posted such times as I have the other day.

The Steam Dreams website lists the following tours in 2010, with Tornado :

Sunday 14 Feb Valentine Day's Luncheon and Dinner
Monday 1 March St David's Day Cathedral Express to Cardiff and Swansea

 

Are there any confirmed timings for Sat and Sun? nothing as yet on UKsteam and approx timings on A1 website.

I hope the weather picks up a bit as I want to try Blea Moor but if today is anything to go by then you won't even see the train leaving Ribblehead!

 

I am on the train on Sun 4th and the timings sent with tickets indicate:

Hellifield dep 11.00 - Carlisle arr 13.58
Carlisle dep 16.50 - Hellifield 19.40

I too hope that UK Steam will have more detail for us soon.

I see that uksteaminfo now has next weekends tour returning via shap, with Tornado on until Preston. Is this confirmed and if so does anyone know where/ when/ via Tornado will leave Preston once the skip takes over??

 

There's a post in the thread about 6233's tour the same day confirming the change of route and steam as far as Preston, together with some departure and arrival times. HTH
