    Is it likely to be I/C stock again?

    Thanks for that. Railway Herald says the train is the class 40's TNT, but that may be a reference to the class 47 on the back.

    Believe the plan is D345 leading D213, with a 47 on the rear. The return starts from a bay platform at Edinburgh before heading round the sub, so it'll need a loco to drag it back in from Craigentinny.

    Sounds like you viewed a different tour. This is via the WCML and is class 40s on the front

    Pity that the passengers are unlikely to be able to hear that sound.

    There's been a track fault for a couple of weeks, everything is going via the loop.
