    Thanks to Matt and Neil for a very enjoyable sortie into enemy territory. Amazed to find that they have good pubs over there that actually serve good food at reasonable prices and not bad beer as well, what was it, Black Sheep?

    This is how Tornado might look in full National Express livery, though personally I prefer the LNER version on the same site. Well done Owen!

    Great videos, thanks for sharing.

    Anyone know when will it get its name plates and will there be an official naming ceromony or will they just be put on it one day?

    Thanks for putting these on. In the second what is the light that can be seen under the footplate facing the tender? Was this part of the testing process gear?

    I love the glow of steam engines at night, In 2006 I saw 60009 speeding on the ECML to Retford and it was 1 and a half hours late, then went over to another crossing where a guy with a phone said it will be here in 10, so rushed back to the previous spot and it was fantastic.
    Back on Tornado, hopefully a visit to Norfolk will be in place for 2009 [-o<
    If not might even have to make the journey to Peterborough.

    Hi Diamond Gaz

    The naming will not take place until next year - the date has not yet been decided - but there will be an official ceremony. 1.00pm on 13th December at the NRM is the unveiling in new livery in the presence of our covenantors. Hope this helps.

    Do you mean the one stood on the viewing platform at The Sidings at the start? Surely he shouldn't be down trackside...

    He isnt on or near the line or on or near the lineside and has no reason to be wearing HV. But for reasons of his own - he wears it anyway. Maybe he thinks it is slimming - or, just maybe its because it gives him a sense of self importance... With his Nikon Coolpix...

    So standing basically at the foot of the catenary post with the rail clearly visible, unobstructed, behind him isn't on the lineside?

    The idiot is definately Trackside and as such should be prosecuted unless he had an official reason to be there. Somehow I think not.
    You can see just beyond him the nearest rails of the Up Slow and no fence in between.

    Once again i bow to your greater self as i did not watch the video properly and assumed he was in the viewing area with the others. In this case would somebody like to pass the details on to the BTP at York with a link to the clip...
