    Some of you will know that 45699 returns LE with support coach to Tyseley Steam Trust (possibly staying overnight) after arrival into Stratford, wonder if she'll bear the "Spirit of the Lakes" headboard, planning on seeing this trip but searching some good spots on the Tyseley - Stratford section, any good suggestions?

    Not a lot of good spots Tom, as all the decent spots are overgrown and better suited from Stratford to Bham due to long climb from Wooton Wawen to Earlswood. The best spot I would go for is at the footcrossing before Wilmcote Station which is situated off the canal. Check out the first shot from the video below ! This is where I would of gone if I was out filming.

    If the train is to be diesel hauled back to Skegness, what is that move from Tyseley to Stratford all about? WCRC into Stratford platform 1, arriving at 15:47, six minutes behind a London Midland train into the same platform, then the next movement is the London Midland train going back out, only a quarter of an hour later. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/SAV/2016/04/09/1600?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt

    There's also a light engine movement earlier in the day from Carnforth to Tyseley...

    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U54415/2016/04/09/advanced

    I assume this and the Tyseley to Stratford light engine movement are a diesel coming down from Carnforth to work the return leg to Skeggie, although I suspect that there will be a diesel on the back of the outward leg and this second diesel is to allow it to go back with top and tail diesels as per most WCRC trains.

    As for the platforms, I suspect the light engine arrives at P1 behind the LM sevrice then shunts to another platform, but RTT won't show the latter local movement.

    You have the stations at Hall Green , Yardley Wood and Shirley which have degree's of GWR charm and a slightly more frequent service than Wootton Wawen

    Canal crossing at Shirley albeit a little overgrown now

    The plan has changed. It now returns directly from Stratford to Carnforth via Dorridge.

    Water also at Bingham ?( 10 min stop )Its about 95 miles and nearly 3 hrs of steaming from Skeggy to Castle Donnington, can.t see 45699 doing that with out assistance from a diesel. Also Castle Donnington is listed twice on steam info, presume its a mistake for Sutton Coldfield

    I'm thinking of giving WCR a call tomorrow to ask whats going on, if its true about 45699 coming off at Duddeston Jc then i'm venturing to Tamworth HL, nothing will stop me seeing 45699 nor get my first glimpse of mainline steam in such a while

    Definitely true Galatea not going to Stratford, the Duddeston Jt leave 11.05 is the timetable for her going back to Carnforth.
