Butterley to Illford

Just seen this on UK Steam Info, Tuesday 30th June Loco & times tba, Butterley-Tyesley-Reading Ilford EMUD. Then return Fri 3rd July,
any one got any info on this one. Not sure whether 6233 is still at Crewe or not, dont know of any other mainline certified locos at Butterley,

I am not sure if this move to Ilford tomorrow is steam, but the times suggest it might be.
Chaddesden 09.02-09.43, Tyseley 11.16-12.10, Oxford UDPL 14.36-15.11, Reading 16.04, Acton ML 17.46-17.58, Ilford 19.10

6233 was due to return to Butterley from Crewe on 13 June.

Was at Butterley on Sunday and on the board it said 6233 was out from 30th June till the 3rd July.

 

Thanks for the info, will probably find out if it is 6233 before Friday and hopefully get out to see it.

Any news on this at all, Is it running with 6233?
Hope to go to Tilehurst later, if was like 70013 yesterday, that was around 15mins early.

 

Any news yet? I can't get out of the office this afternoon, but a couple of friends might be able to pop out to see it, if it's running...

 

Tyre turning move?

 

6233 and support coach passed Culham at 15:30

Through Tilehurst 15.55 slowly following a local. There was a lady & small boy out generally watching trains, I think this must of took them by surprise. Wish I took my camera though. Times permitting I might go out & see the return on Friday.

 

Caught the Duchess at Culham - light wasn't very good but here's a pic
