    Will the A1 Trust apply that policy? We've seen no sign of it yet.

    ''Following Tornado in steam this weekend, there has been a lot of interest in ‘The Ribblehead Rambler’ tour across the S&C on 21st September.
    Online bookings have now closed for this train, but tickets are available via the Booking Office on 01325 488215''.

    Things are looking up ....well, we hope so. <BJ>

    A couple of videos of Tornado on some higher speed test runs at the GCR have appeared today on FB, and looks like she's going and sounding well.

    There's even been a diesel on the back for the authentic mainline test scenario!!

    ''Tornado undertook testing today at speeds up to 60mph. Unfortunately, a defective firebar has been identified and is far easier to replace when the locomotive is cooler. There are also a number of maintenance and snagging items to close out which are also better done when the engine is cooler. The planned engineering period has therefore been brought by one day.
    The provisional operation of Tornado at the GCR on Thursday 5th September will not take place. The originally diagramed GCR steam locomotive will be operating the services''.

    A welcomed and significant change in comms strategy by A1SLT with unexpected openness and transparency. Hopefully a permanent change.

    It's not exactly that - the video is in a private Facebook group, which isn't viewable by people not already members of the group.

    Tornado has been outside the shed at Loughborough whilst the diesel gala event is taking place. I assume it has had the fire bar(s?) replaced and other snags ironed out, as there was nobody working on it yesterday. I think it will be back in steam for further testing next week but, as ever, we will have to wait and see.

    I hate to say I told you so… more reputational damage through “death by a thousand cuts”.

    To misquote Lady Bracknell, “To lose one railtour, Mr. Davies, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose [insert latest number] looks like carelessness.”
