    Hopefully this means more trips to be hauled by Flying Scotsman next year with UK Railtours.

    I can't remember exactly where it was said but, UK Railtours did express how they wished they could have had MK1's for this trip. Perhaps in the distant future with some wishful thinking on my end UK Railtours or someone else will get another rake of CDL MK1s for railtours.

    Maybe because the majority of the passengers aren't aware of them.

    Some rail hire firm with enough money to persuade WCRC to sell a dozen Mk1’s and add CDL
    (Though doubt they would ever sell them to a competitor)

    I suspect the schedule will be uploaded sometime on 13/12/2025 to minimise the Flying Scotsman media effect.

    Cheers, Neil

    Somebody has forgot that the Wear Tyne Derby is on at that time, and with the game finishing at 16:00, by 17.33 the Station Area and City should be spicy to say the least....

    I doubt anyone has forgotten, probably more that circumstances meant it cannot be avoided...
