Just looking at the LE moves this week and UKSteaminfo has Tangmere down for a move to Southall on Tuesday here:-

UKsteam.info - UK mainline steam loco movements 2013

But it says Thursday here:-

t0307q.htm

I was wondering which it is?

Thanks, Neil.

 

I've heard from a normally reliable source that it will run on Thursday.

It looks like it is Thursday:

Thanks for the clarification, Neil.

Short video of Tornado passing Shrivenham earlier this afternoon on her test run.

Enjoy

 

Tornado passing through Castle Bar Park on her way to the Greenford triangle to turn.

At this point she was an hour down on booked time going to the triangle and about 40 minutes down on her return!

Re: LE Movements

The NNR thinks its getting Britannia tomorrow, I see there is a LE movement on uksteam.info with no times, but I cant find any booked slot on realtime trains. Anyone know if this is happening or not?

 

Re: LE Movements

Apparently via the Hope Valley with eta NNR @ 6PM

 

I've had times of 13:46-14:30 at Ely and then 18:20 at Sheringham. No idea how accurate they are. Got them from a text off of my Grandfather.

 

Ok thanks, there is nothing booked in Sheringham other than the regular service train, and nothing at Hope that looks like it could be the one. I will check the info again tomorrow morning, hoping to catch it between Peterborough / Lakenheath, or maybe Melton/Stamford if it is on the hope line.

 

North Norfolk Railway - Level Crossing's

says 18:25 across the crossing subject to the usual caveats

Ok timings available, its [h=2]5Z54[/h]

 

Those timings are more or less spot on.

 

You just beat me to it. Here are the 5Z54 timings: Realtime Trains

 

Also on UKSteam .....I think the diesel is Mr Riley's.......
