Hogwarts Excursion - 18th July

Left Crewe at 16.48 99 late.

 

Interesting to note its running with the HE headboard but Olton Hall plates :-k , i suspected it would be devoid of headboard with Olton plates on Sunday but suprised it's not wearing the Hogwarts Castle plates for Saturdays trip.

 

Passed through sutton park at 18.20 going a good lick pity about the heavy rain & darkness.

Sorry to sound thick, but where is Sutton Park in relation to a timing point on uk steam. Just trying to establish how late it is. Already reported 99 down on here. Hope to catch it at Tilehurst later after OC.

 

Hi Buseng

Sutton Park on the UKsteam timings is half way between Walsall & Castle Bromwich Jcn

Sutton Park is midway between Walsall and Castle Bromwich Jct. if that helps.

 

Beat me to it Graham perhaps a mod can remove my previous post.

 

Has arrived at Tyseley 19.06 108 late, It is booked stop for 50 mins but i'm not sure if it will be a quick fill up with water and away to make up time. I shall report back when its left.

Update: 20.28 Still at Tyseley.

 

Thank you both for the info, judging by the Tyseley post, it is now very late. Could possibly stay at Tyseley overnight & continue tomorrow.

 

Not left Tyseley and is cancelled from there

 

Somebody must of read my mind, as I said I assume it continues tomorrow.
I presume the original path gets it too late at Southall to prepare it for Saturday.

Didcot 23.50 approx.

 

What a rip off this trip is £89 and only steam one way but it fails to mention that on their web page.

 

Times now on uk steam.

Thought I heard it go through Sonning Cutting last night while in the bathroom about 00.20am.
With all the windows open it's surprising what you can hear !
Only live a mile away in a straight line from the Sonning Cutting.
Other half said I was mad & dreaming it ! ](*,)
