    Who would want to be a tour promoter?
    Only chatting to one of my steward friends yesterday about how, with the new Buxton date they would manage to man two tours in two days out of London. Things change quickly in the tour world.

    Great video. That was going some at Finsbury Park - and as far as I could see, the diesel wasn't working through the station - maybe after help at the start out of The Cross?

    45212 at Bygrave, just east of Baldock, this morning. Bit of exhaust which generally behaved itself considering the strong westerly wind. Diesel wasn't doing anything, unlike in @TheModster's video from Letchworth a couple of miles earlier.

    I expected some diesel assistance given the fire risk. Was good to see the Five take the train on the fast at Finsbury. Just beyond the platform at Letchworth was a lot of trackside vegetation, and given it shut off halfway down the platform with the diesel powering, my assumption is they were being careful with the risk and only powering the Five where safe. Complete speculation, of course!

    I believe the change to a Sunday does not help get to the pick up points.
    But I see the Swanage Belle now shows full in all classes.

    It probably brings an ironic smile to the punters who have been attempting to do that trip for the last three years. Once upon a time that blurb was correct.

    Good to see that it's sold out.

    Members of this forum may have differing views on diesels on the back and "coffins", but I guess most of us who frequent the "What's going on" threads on this forum have had some enjoyable days out on RTC excursions. Therefore even though there are those who are none too keen to travel with them as long as the current rolling stock is being used, I'm sure that none of us want to see RTC go under because of a situation outside of their control.
