2012 Mainline Steam Program

Listed on A1 Steam Trust website, no prices at present. Will not necessarily be listed on Steam Dreams site, since they are only booking agents.

 

I think Tornado is doing East Coast mainline on June 6th

 

2 Forth Circle tours have been announced on UKsteam.info

46115: Linlithgow-Kirkcaldy-Dufermline-Alloa-Stirling-Linlithgow (am)
46115: Dalmeny-Kirkcaldy-Dufermline-Alloa-Stirling-Dalmeny (pm) April 28

60009: Glenrothes-Tay Bridge-Dundee and return, Perth-Inverness and return on June 10th

 

I have spoken to Steam Dreams who say they are aware of this trip but currently have no agreement with A1SLT to act as booking agents and are therefore not accepting bookings.

 

For June 10 read June 30 - my mistake I'm afraid

Our tour program through mid-sept is up on our website. Hopefully lots of things that people will like.

6201 being banked up the Lickey by 2 Panniers.
5043 with a limited load over the Devon Banks
panniers roaming around the Midlands again....

Have a look!

 

The 30 June trip to Inverness has thrown me a bit of a curve-ball, as I was intending to do King's X to Durham behind 60163. Depending on the start time at Glenrothes with Thornton (as I'd be intending to stay in Edinburgh, I'd be able to catch a train and get there by 06:30 without problems, but I'll have to wait till March before making a final decision and get provisional timings off the SRPS), I'm seriously considering doing it as a prelude to Glasgow-Aberdeen in September.

 

I'm the one with the mistake

 

Today's run of Britannia is a little surprising. Everyone until last week were thinking that The Black 5's on a RYTC tour would be the first. Anyone want to chime in?

 

The Tamar Devonian, a Pathfinder special on July 28th has been added to Uksteam.info . The proposed power 70000 & 71000 Bristol to Plymouth!
