    The last I heard about No.70, is that it is in Hayes Knoll shed at the Swindon & Cricklade Railway. It is currently out of ticket, in need of work on the boiler.

    67's 'ticket' runs out on 31/12/11 after which it wil lbe a museum piece for the foreseeable future. It is presently relegated to standby but did see use this last w/e. As Sidmouth says, plans for a final day being formulated.
