    The latest news from RTYC:
    ''On 18th October we will be hauled by 70013 Oliver Cromwell from Bristol to Kingswear and return to Taunton. The section from Poole to Bristol and Taunton to Poole will be diesel hauled. We apologise for the changes to the steam haulage section, this is due to train length issues at Westbury''.

    Return times now available. <BJ>

    Seems to be some confusion with this trip, UK Steam are showing steam Bristol-Taunton-Kingswear and return to Bristol which probably maybe incorrect.

    No it doesn't. It says it returns to Taunton which is correct. Read my message at the top of the page.

    Uksteam incorrect? Wash your mouth out with soap and water. ;) <BJ>

    70013 and Mk.2 support coach safely into Bristol and onto 82B (well, very close to the old depot).

    Does anyone have the outbound timings for tomorrow yet, please? TIA. <BJ>

    Still no sign of the outward run in RTT (that I can find at least), but I gather steam departs from Bristol at 0953

    Someone has kindly sent me a film clip of the train and the answer as Big Al has mentioned is 10 + POB.

    Thanks for the replies. <BJ>
