    Not sure if a thread has been started elsewhere but couldn't see any.

    I am planning on visiting the West Somerset next week to see Tornado working on the Orange timetable. However there appears to be some conflicting information about which trains she will be on. Both the official and wsr.org.uk site state that she will be on the second train off Bishops Lydeard and there being a slightly amended timetable with an extra train in each direction according to wsr.org.uk. But I have noticed that the roster on the same website says that Tornado will be on the first train from Bishops Lydeard, and I have been told that she was seen on a train she wasn't supposed to be on.

    So does this mean that there is a simple error in the roster on the site or has the loco roster been changed and the timetable is now unchanegd?

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    A kind person (WSR Plc director!) emailed me about this and I have corrected the loco roster. Sorry about that.
