5/2/14 Western Champion to Paignton

 

When are the above tours likely to be advertised ?

 

Earl of Mount Edgcumbe on Martin Mill Bank?? Great idea if it fits!

 

Steam t.b.d, so probably an engine stationed at Southall.

 

Regrettably that is the most likely scenario. My earlier post about 5043 on Martin Mill Bank was pretty tongue-in-cheek, as Kent is one of the tightest counties in the UK as far as gauging is concerned, (CTRL excepted), so if it's anything other than a Bulleid, a Brit or a Black Five, I'd be pretty amazed, although if anyone can pull off a surprise, it's Vintage Trains.

 

It will be interesting to see if a Hall makes it on the Robin hood line and on to Sheffield. I guess it will be too big to fit past the platforms on the route

On UK steam it says 46115 will be doing the Canterbury loop on the 29th March...

 

It doesn't now !

 

Unlikely anything GWR would go to Canterbury, but never say never, good chance of booking that regardless of what's upfront as Midlands - Sussex/Kent is so unusual, I'm fully expecting some square device name after an Airfield.

 

I hear TYS are going to name their 08 Gatwick specially for this trip.

 

Do I dare suggest the 08 would finish the trip quicker ?, oh too late

 

Much more sure footed with 10 on.

 

VT tour programme on the website currently looking a little 'thin' !! Can't be long now for there to be more meat on the bone !!

 

Stand out tour for me there. Welcome return to the mainline!

 

The above mentioned tours are now on the VT tours page.

All our tours through April 2014 are now online. There are a few guest engines rostered for early 2014. We have confirmed the availability of them, but anything can happen in 6 months.

We hope you can join us on some of the tours. We are putting the water carrier to good use to try and reduce some of the journey times and increase time at the destinations.

The online booking system is also up and running, so no need to call the office to book, unless you want to, then we will be more than happy to take your booking over the phone.

Hope to see you soon!

PS - Paper copies of the brocure will be arriving mid-week.

 

1015 is booked for a birmingham - Weymouth train in September
