Vintage Trains rarely give outline times. Where they have a trip is in conjunction with Chiltern or First Great Western, outline times have been given.

I thank-you for the interest.

We have requested a 7:30am departure from Tyseley. Also the standard 30 minute stop on Crewe P12 for water.

We will see what the computer spits out!

 

Will you be stopping at the Brighouse water hole?

 

It has been requested!

 

Ben, thank you for the posts, it's great to get some advance information. Best wishes for another great excursion!

 

I am looking forward to linesiding this tour and hope to see 5043 in a few locations. I was tempted to book on but we are on the VT trip 3 weeks earlier with 6201.

I do like the write up on the Vintage Trains website...

07:40 is booked dep time and only 3 mins at crewe, next watering point is Denton 10:56 - 11:48 then Brighouse 12:54 - 13:21, watering i guess at crewe on return tho.

 

Ben, there is no access from P 12 at Crewe onto the Wilmslow and Stockport line. The RTC's Scarborough Flyer normally uses Platforms 5 or 6 for that reason.

 

What more can I say? You are correct! Crewe is on the way home.

They also have us down for a splash-and-dash just North of Brum - we wll see on the day.

 

Any full timings available yet please?

UK Steam don't have them yet. I am sure they will put them up as soon as we accept them! lol

 

Times for this epic have appeared...... http://www.uksteam.info/tours/t11/t0416c.htm

shame its going "inside" at Diggle, still, suppose that leaves plenty of time to chase to Copy Pit !

 

Just to remind everyone that 6201 and 5043 will pass Crewe around 1 hour apart - I would head up there myself if it weren't for exams!

 

I presume the diesel will come on at Bescot on the return as the tour goes through New Street

 

That's a plan

Castle at Stockport - the Buffet Bar and Deepest Lancashire

then

Beamish Evening photo shoot from 17.00 to 20.00

Just a shame to miss a blue A4 but you have to prioritise at times.

 

This train has now been rerouted via Warrington BQ and Manchester Victoria rather than Wilmslow and Stockport, due to track problems in the Stockport area.
