    Would love to but think I will have to give it a miss. Got a busy day at work on Friday and don't finish until 11pm. Travelling on Sat. would mean around 5am departure (from Kidderminster) with a midnight or so return. I'm then back at work 3-11pm on Sunday.
    I'm sure you will have a great time. Thanks for your info. No times yet posted on UKSteam.
    Regards
    Simon

    Heading towards Preston on time at Fowler lane, Farington.
    Not much clag, but what a beast !! Extremely impressed by the performance and how it was running as it passed by at speed.
    They are in for a treat on the return leg over the S&C later it it gets a clear path'

    Why use this type of stock on steam tours anyway? Not exactly authentic. Something out of the 70's & 80's. You can get away with non air-con MK 2's though, ie the Green Train.

    the Duke passed Carnforth about 10 mins down, it seems nobody is texting updates so far, is the system running ok?. or maybe its too complicated for some. no diesel but only 10 on, seemed to accelerate very gently from Carnforth, gave the impression it could handle 20,

    Thanks for the update Leon, no reported problems with the system, and there have been a couple of updates from the Swanage Belle.
    I'm heading out about 6.30 for Whalley and Pleasington so any info before that would be appreciated.

    Difficult to be sure from the pictures, but I think that is probably the ex-SLOA Generator van on the back.

    If the Duke is coming off at Blackburh I wonder where they are getting a diesel from, unless it's the one that brought the train to Crewe this morning..
