    Not much of a publicity stunt to eat a large humble pie. But if it means RTC can get back to what they were, it's very good news.

    Why would you want to make a song and dance after everything that has transpired over the last few years ? I think this is much better , just quietly get on with it

    Delighted to see Scots Guardman back on the railtour scene! I look forward to seeing when the other vacuum braked locos get their chance to pull mainline tours again.

    I meant more for RTC as they have been advertising tickets for sale this week which might of been more in demand if it was known about the mk1 return.

    I would assume given the locomotive for this trip was never formally announced, these Mk1 with CDL must have only just been finished otherwise they'd have been out last weekend on the Cumbrian Mountain Express. So probably RTC didn't want to risk promising something that might have ended up being Tangmere with Mk2's if they weren't ready in time.
