    Sorry to bother you, but will one Manor still be in use on Satuday (22nd)? If so, do you know which one? Also, any advice on likely motive power a week today (Monday 24th) also appreciated.

    Does the visiting Torbay Express have a pilot or banking engine between Paignton and Kingswear?

    70000 Britannia is due to haul the Torbay Express this Sunday, so it should be fine going up the bank. We never really allocate an engine as a banker for the Torbay Express.

    We may sometimes put the class 25 on the charter train but this is more down to timings then anything else. If a chater train gets stuck on the bank then we can always use the service train engine to help it up the bank.

    I don't think 7820 will be in service this week as engines normally get changed around at the start of the week.... 7827 and 4277 are currently facing smokebox to Kingswear.

    The 2x20s are due in on Friday, timings on the links:

    Back: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U63819/2015/08/28/advanced

    We also have 2x57s on Saturday:

    Thanks for this. Had hoped to get down this week. Will have to be next week, I think. Would love to get a run behind 5239 before it gets withdrawn for overhaul.
