    You will need to give them a day or two yet, NR don't always release the official times until a few days before the trip.

    Ive never had to buy a ticket to get onto the platform at Norwich, as long as u show knowledge that u want to go and see the steam loco aka not wearing your hoodie up looking like your trying to sneak onto a train, but with camera in hand and use the name of the loco they should let you on ive never had any problems of them saying no. :)

    Heres some of my photos was a great afternoon, managed to visit Tornado's cab and sit in the drivers seat too! :D

    While standing on Carrow Road bridge to watch her depart that was a little suprise when i turned around to see a Traction Engine coming up the road from the football ground!! not somthing you expect to see in the city centre during the start of rush hour!!

    rest of my photos from Tornados visit can be seen here: http://georgesrailwayphotos.fotopic.net/c1854743.html
