RTC The Jolly Fisherman May 11th has been postponed

a letter in the post informed me that the jolly fisherman is postponed at short notice due to gauging issues .this is no good
for those who like me booked train tickets to london

 

More here, Tangmere is the issue.

New date now announced for this trip SAT 13 JULY 2013 70013 throughout.

 

but RTC are already using 70013 on Sat 13 July on the "Coast to Coast" [with 45305] from Liverpool to Scarborough via Copy Pit, a train that is all but full. How can 70013 be in two places at once?

 

That led me to question the accuracy of the letter confirming the re-date and traction.

 

Letter came from RTC containing the above information

 

looks like some different traction may be needed, or 45305 will do all the Coast to coast, it did 2 years ago
