    Unlikely. The WSR Class 47 D1661 is booked to work the 11:05 Bishops Lydeard-Minehead.
    Also 53808 now replaces 6960 on the WSR as 6960 has failed a FTR today (Fri).
    Provisional Times are available at uksteam.info.

    Reports on Facebook said that the Scot apparently had a TPWS fault whilst working the ECS to Southall, hopefully this should be a quick fix in time for tomorrows trip

    Got the tickets and the information RTC sent, load is expected to be 10 coaches with 46115 confirmed (!) and a WSR locomotive taking the WSR sections (which would be 53808)

    The return times are in the system, but for some reason RTT is not finding them ! Full details are available at uksteam.info.

    Here was 53808 yesterday evening coming off the triangle at Norton Fitzwarren having been turned for her railtour duties today.

    Can one of those lucky folk on the railtour post a photo of the train at Paddington?

    Who said in a post a few weeks ago that WCRC supports mainline steam? They certainly don't show that in the South. Yesterday was ridiculous, sending 34052 down to Bristol to be shoved back by a '37. I'd love to see the justification for it and why the ORR and NR are allowing it.

    Perhaps because the reliability of 46115 is suspect ? It failed with TPWS problems on Thursday.
