Does anyone know when 60007 is due to come south for upcoming rail tour next week?

 

Flying Scotsman attracting the crowds during a brief pathing stop at Stafford on its way back to the East Lancs Railway.

 

An LNER invasion of the WCML in Staffordshire on a sometime very wet November afternoon, 61306 at Standon (0/10 for missing where the power wires went !) and a goal with 60103 at Penkridge

 

Nice to see those 20’s are now steam heat fitted Scott

 

Tuesday. Nice path as well if you want to chase it, especially further south.

Thank you @5944 I might try at MKC depending on the weather

 

Looking at the long range forecast, a station with a waiting room looks like a good idea!

Presumably 34067 working 5Z42 Carnforth to Southall tomorrow

Anyone know what this is as 45596 is already in the South?

 

45212 I suspect, for some on RTC's Christmas trips, such as The Sussex Belle on the 24th.

 

44871 should be leaving on the 21st .

45596 is due back at Haworth on the 19th.

 

Should be double headed with 4498 and 45231.

 

What's the reason for 45231 heading that way?

 

On the Watercress Line operations thread there is a mention of a loco visiting over the Christmas period to help out the railway due to the departure of 76017. It could be 45231 that is coming to the rescue. It has visited the Watercress Line at Christmas before.

61306 is meant to be doing a few tours in December, so maybe it's not ready yet. Or it might be @green five's suggestion.
