    As it's an unusual outing for Lizzie I thought it needs its' own thread.

    Firstly, anyone know any good locations as she climbs Gomshall Bank on the outbound run?

    That's a superb view, thanks for that Ashley. Can definitely imagine Lizzie making a racket up there.

    We are booked on this run as mentioned on another thread. Steam Dreams site is now saying it's nearly full up so don't hang about if you want to go on this trip.

    Does anyone know anything about the LE moves for this trip? Is Lizzie still in Carnforth? Or is she already at Southall?

    That thing called the weather doesn't seem that bright judging by Thursday's forecast.

    I thinks its leaving Crewe around 1200, then running down the WCML and then to Tyseley for servicing, where it will stay until the early evening before continuing its journey to Southall. I have no more info at present I'm afraid.

    Anyone on this trip, give us a wave or whistle as you pass Stewarts Lane - Clan line will be in steam albeit in the shed prepping for our run out on Friday.
    Cheers!

    Good to see her out again - at least you got decent sound and a little speed which is more than I got as she came off Crewe Heritage Centre:

    I wonder where the HD version has got to?

    Train approx 8-10 down @ Selhurst (delays due to a Broken Down Train on all services according to station announcements) Lizzie looked and sounded superb.
