    Can anyone advise what platform it is likely to arrive in at Euston? Which one did Tornado use?

    Lizzie departed from plat.4 bang on time. I was above the station at the London end and she caused quite a stir at street level.
    Video being uploaded now, link to follow.

    Just home after cutting the tour short at London. 6201 was very vocal and certainly put in a good performance. Many thanks to Vintage Trains and Network Rail etc for enabling the tour to run. Now all we need is steam out New Street via University and Smethwick! :)

    Witnessed a spirited climb of Camden Bank from Primrose Hill Bridge with lots of noise and smoke and a nice Parallel run with a Pendalino on the inside of the curve.

    Also made about 10 - 12 peoples day who wondered what was happening a stopped to look.

    Just back home after linesiding two locations on WCML. Morning run captured at Wilsons foot crossing outside Northampton, and return run captured at Headstone Lane overground station where lizzie could be heard far in the distance on the approach.

    Pics to be uploaded asap. Sounded like a great trip.
