    Seeing as 70013 is at MOSI until early Saturday morning (apparently), and its pulling a railtour from Carnforth at 11.22, which route do you think it'll take out of Manchester? Seeing as its currently the wrong way round, do you think it'll go tender first along the Manchester Liverpool line to Golborne junction, and then up to the WCML from there?

    Anyone have any info?

    Thanks 504 - have you got the timings? Is it definitely going as far as Earlestown before joining the WCML? It is going to up at Golborne Junction to Spring Junction and pick it up there?

    I have sent you a PM with the times but Light Engine moves can run very early to the times they publish.

    I assume she has been moved or has already left, as she wasn't where she has been all week when I came through on way to work this AM.

    Yes, someone else from Preston rang me earlier on to say that Cromwell had turned at Farington and was now facing south. Does this mean that it is going NORTH over the S&C and back SOUTH via Shap. If so, why is UKSteam.info still showing the opposite itinerary??

    70013 arrived at Carnforth facing northbound. It had been turned on the Farrington triangle to face this direction.
