    Maybe I should rephrase it...

    all black fives are the same... so any of them with 70000 will do.

    Back at post #225 it was suggested that there may be another test run this week. Is there any more news at the moment on when another test is planned?

    Thanks, Neil.

    That's what I'd meant in my previous post. Test run is cancelled. Didn't explain it properly. Sorry.

    I was reliably informed last Saturday morning that this will certainly go ahead this Wednesday 1st December. The driver will apparently be Bill Andrew and will be his last main line steam run before he retires.

    Has anyone got details of timings yet?

    I had a text this morning saying the test run had been cancelled and 70000 was returning back to Crewe. The text came from Noelist.
