If you seriously are not happy, inform the SVR and somebody else may be able to use your seat(s).

And, if you actually read what I'd written, you'd notice that I'd acknowledged that the SVR have done the right thing and are acting reasonably. That doesn't mean that visitors aren't entitled to feel a level of disappointment, or that this...

I couldn't believe it when released. I think the SVR have seriously unsold it. At least by 10%. £20k they could've cashed in at least. Would've paid for the 20s fuel and some!

No, the published locomotive is 60103 in this instance, which is being provided. The T&Cs apply whatever the damn traction is. As I have said I did not ask for refund when I had home loco 9351 instead of guest 42968 on the WSR for an evening...

Diesel isn't replacing steam. 60103 is in the formation as advertised. Way you are going on is that they are giving you Mk5s with 66s and a view of FS as the train passes by Kidderminster carriage shed with Mk3s parked in the way.

They didn't. £45 is cheap for FS and is a normal gala walk up fare.

Get a grip! Be grateful we can do these things in 2025! You've paid £45 for an all day ticket, SVR have sold it cheap in my opinion. I did not moan when I had 2x20 vice steam on a Saphos tour back in July 2022!

I suspect 90% of passengers will just be happy to have their picture taken in front of Flying Scotsman and wont be that bothered about hearing it or not. I have sympathy for those that are disappointed but can see the logic in @Sidmouth 's...
