    This single train was run after the days service had finished on 19th April and prior to the evening farewell to Russell party. 590 had not had an FTR completed before its annual boiler cert expired. It was steamed to test some repairs to the air pump and Gelert had been warmed for the following days service so the opportunity was take to run all three locos on the main line together. 590 is due cold and hot inspections in May and should return to service in June (possibly May half term but not checked the dates vs hot boiler test.)
