    Do we have an update on the progress of this tour?

    I am hoping to make it to Magor for the water stop and then severn tunnel.

    Many Thanks

    Glad to hear he got home safely, i did manage to see the king at the water stop at magor just as the light was fading, i turned my camera on and it promptly turned itself off again, gotta remember to charge the batteries next time! :(

    The king was turned out immaculately as always and i do hope all involved had a good day.

    Enjoyed a good day out on this tour. First time for Western steam on this branch since the 60's I believe.
