The Welshman Sat. 20th June 2015

Can't see a thread for this RTC trip mentioned yet: http://www.railwaytouring.net/uk-day-trips/the-welshman
Still showing 34067 Tangmere hauling it ( - although I believe 61306 Mayflower is now hauling Saturday's RTC "Cotswold Venturer" as 34067 is not available).
Does anyone know yet if Tangmere should be available on Saturday week or might 61306 have to cover this too?

 

Posted in another thread that Tangmere was available for tomorrows trip.Email earlier in the week from RTC giving a discount off this trip said Tangmere was still hauling it.

 

Had an e-mail about this trip with a discount offered and it says 34067 is scheduled to haul it. I wonder if she will.........

 

34067 should be doing this trip

Uksteam now showing a provisional move by 70000 'Britannia' from Bristol to Southall on Friday, 19th.

If Tangmere is unavailable, this leaves the option of a D + ECS + Britannia move from Southall to Poole in readiness for Saturday morning. <BJ>

 

No 34067 is doing the trip

Will whatever loco that takes it from Poole be watered before it departs Poole?

 

Will probably be watered before it departs it's stabling point overnight

Today's ECS is on it's way. According to RTT, despite being 55L leaving Willesden, it left Southampton 3E. Has anyone seen it yet? Is Tangmere taking part?

 

Yes I've seen it

Tangmere & train stabling at Corfe Castle tonight

 

Dineing on the front from Pool,just looked at railcam Corfe no loco at the moment it must be at Swanage

 

Loco and POB stabled in the sidings at Corfe last night; nice easy job sticking it on the front and away at 0530 this morning.

 

Going well and on time at both Ashurst and Dunbridge. 47 on back doing no work

No rain in Bristol today, but it has still to deal with Filton Bank.
