    With all the recent comments on the Fire Risk thread [https://national-preservation.com/threads/fire-risk.1424987/page-27] I wonder if NR's main line steam ban will be lifted in time for Tornado to attend?

    RTC website - https://www.railwaytouring.net/dce-13-08-26 - states it is diesel hauled. The confirmed timings on it show the excursion to be around one hour earlier at Bournemouth and Weymouth on the outward journey than would have been the case...
