The Stratford Flyer - 09/04/22

Have the times on RTT been uploaded yet for the Stratford on Avon Flyer for 9 April dep Man picc at 7:30am and ret to Man Vic at 22:02pm as provisional times on R.T.C.. as advertised? if not ile check for thursday this week at the latest it looks like it's nearly 3 hours and 50 mins in S.U.A to visit as well. I'm reckoning the Loco could be either 45690 or 35018 with a C,47 as the backup on the rear of the train to turn on Hatton triangle.

 

At last :-

Looks like the whole set is turned.

 

Point of order: it's out from Victoria and in to Piccadilly. Wouldn't want anyone standing at Piccadilly at the crack of dawn waiting for a train that ain't coming.

 

Passed it twice yesterday on the way to work, riot police vans everywhere, no protesters though.

 

Quick heads up for the Stratford flyer tomorrow it will now be diesel hauled due to 45690 leander failing a F.T.R. today at 10A railway touring company are not offering a full refund but a £35 discount on future tours. But are not offering a transfer of booking to another tour unless talking to Rachel jackson.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Thanks for that @Davo. You’ve saved me a lengthy drive tomorrow.

 

Well me and my mate was on this tomorrow I wont say much more but my mate was fuming cos he had booked us on 1st class and was considering a tour in may with R.T.C. and could only find the Windsor flyer but we couldent make Ely early enough incase the cross country service is cancelled due to them striking, I cant go on the cumbrian mountain express cos I'm booked on the V.T. cotswold venturer, so my mate is transferring our booking onto the Welsh mountaineer 19.7.2022 for a extra £60 cos with living in the grim north.

 

Yes, thank you for the info. Being "local" to S-U-A I had planned on seeing it three times. Oh well, next time.
