    Here's my footage and snapshots of Flying Scotsman's adventure on the North Warwickshire Line on Valentine's Day. Filmed at Danzey Green and a foot crossing near Bearley Junction. I hope you enjoy it.

    So, it looks like four trips to Dorridge and then one to Whitlocks End. Another nail in 75 mph claim is there is restrictions at Olton and Tyseley.

    I think we all expected this to drop into the Polar Paths which have been proven to operate and can be done with a tender full of water , there being little opportunity or somewhere to water within the polar timings .

    two days the 6:30pm has dropped so no Whitlocks I suspect weds and thurs

    Thanks for the info. That pretty much confirmed the info I was given when I booked on the 1230 tomorrow. I'm still awaiting final details: VT emailed me yesterday morning to say they were working on these having received the NR timings the evening before.

    Stuck behind the Worcester stopper on most runs and it left early on the 2nd run. I'd be amazed if they get up to 50, let alone 75 ! Anyway, looked good with a set of choc & cream directly behind it. A heads up If you're photting it, there's a vibrant VT headboard on display.

    Is the loco at the Birmingham end? If so I expect quite a crush on the concourse!
    Yes I saw those times, Martin, thanks.
