Tornado light movement wed's 8th june;

Is there any more news on how 60163 is doing please? I still intend to go out to Warrington BQ later.

Thanks, Neil.

 

8 late at Penrith.

 

Thanks Neil.

Neil.

 

I notice on UKSteam, 60163 is going from Crewe to Didcot tomorrow, and I was wondering which route is set to be used and if there are any timings yet?

Cheers,
Lewis

 

I was going to say thats obvious (the route) but now I seen your point! She may run down the WCML to Nuneaton then take the branches to Leamington via Coventry and then straight down to Didcot; or run via Wolves, Bescot and Stetchford or Wolves, Walsall, Sutton Park and Tyseley. We'll have to wait and see!

As for timings probably the evening - well it had better be! Nothing for weeks of exam leave then the day I go back - this!

She looked great at Warrington and I hope all was well with the loaded test run. I expected her to come tearing through at her maximum of 75 through there but the train was held for some reason on slow line through platform 2 and then accelerated away towards Crewe. I will check out the video shortly.

Thanks to those who provided the updates, Neil.

Any more news on tomorrow's run from Crewe to Didcot?

 

Any times for when she will be passing through the West Midlands on Thursday would be appreciated.

 

Unspectacular video of Tornado hurrying through Acton Bridge Station some 15 minutes early:

Thanks to the two at Lancaster and Warrington (? Leon and Neil maybe) for the RailTour Live updates - much appreciated.

Sometime between 10:17 (dep Crewe), and 15:35 (arr Didcot). Sorry I have no other details.

Good video Ralph....and even better timing !! you must have breathed a sigh of relief when you saw what was coming other way.

 

Here is my effort from Warrington Bank Quay, I should have gone to Golborne! I think the crew were observing the station announcers warnings at around 1.38 mins to avoid a fine...

Still a lovely sight and thanks to everyone involved with Tornado.
