    Despite the trips being tomorrow I cannot find any timings on Real Time trains for the two tours out of Paddington tomorrow. Does anyone know if they are even still going ahead?

    Believe they are still due to run as planned. The SD website has the confirmed timings from Paddington so it's probably just a case that they aren't in the system.

    Ok thank you. I'm more interested to see the complete route the trips will be taking now they've abandoned the Surrey Hills and Kent trips.

    The ECS only appeared on RTT today (https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U57064/2025-07-09/detailed) so I suspect they will appear somewhen before 1013 tomorrow.

    If the vague description on the website is to be believed it looks GWML to Oxford and return via Bicester and High Wycombe for the lunchtime and the reverse for the evening

    Been advised that both trips will be diesel hauled throughout due to a steam ban in place.

    Evening everyone,

    Can somebody please confirm if the Steam Dreams charter from Kings Cross to York on Wednesday is running?.
    There doesn't seem to be any timings available from the usual sources, such as RTT or Charlwood House.

    Thank you.

    EDIT - I had the wrong day!

    https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/se...3/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt&toc=LS

    Booked Britannia according to website. Done nothing but rain here in Stevenage last 3 days so let’s hope that’s enough.
