    I wonder if anyone has an idea which locomotive might be used for this... ?
    I'm assuming 8F ....
    Thanks in advance....

    The 8F sounds sensible, although it would make an easy tour for 35018?

    Edit: they are 60mph paths, suggesting the 8F

    Looking at RTT, is there a reason for not just using the steam loco for the whole day, or just leaving on steam to Carnforth on the return.

    the 8f is usually shown as a 50mph timing

    Of course, my mistake, I knew it was slower. Black 5s are 60.

    So it’s not the 8f?

    Yes, the day would be far to long with all the extra pathing and water stops. As it is, a leisurely start from Barrow and a decent time getting back, with time for a pint or two...

    Just had a look on both UK Steam and Real Time Trains. UK Steam states the tour is coming through Chester, but Real Time trains says it's going to Shrewsbury via Whitchurch (the same as the 28th February trip).

    Anyone able to confirm which route it is taking as I have a follower on Twitter, who is constantly asking questions about mainline steam coming to Chester.

    I would trust RTT, UKsteam also seems to disagree with RTT on the associated light loco moves

    uksteam.info now showing revised times. It is a very slow path on the WCML, with five pathing stops each way. Could be the 8F.
