    It will be a long day, leaving Solihull just before 07:00 and getting back just after midnight, with a 45 minute drive getting to / from Worcester - certainly the longest day out I'll have spent on a charter. Good thing I have no plans on the Sunday!

    It should definitely be worth it though. The outbound path looks the best, once we leave the Oxford loop we'll have 1hr 40mins of non-stop running, whereas on the return the longest non-stop section is the 53 mins from Bristol to Swindon.

    Tickets were sent 1st Class on Wednesday, so fingers crossed for delivery today (Thursday) or Friday at the latest....Buzby is winging his (her?) way around the country as we speak.

    The times on our webiste are confirmed - http://www.vintagetrains.co.uk/whistling-ghost-v-saturday-17th-june/

    We are stopping at Blue Anchor in both directions.

    If anyone has questions or concerns, give the office a ring on 0121 708 4960 or to: tickets@vintagetrains.co.uk

    Cheers!

    Still at Challow. Nothing going west and it looks as though our day at Minehead has also gone west.
