    Back into Steamtown at 1620 according to RTT having returned via Bentham.

    I understand the 8F had a hot box.

    I understand it was a light test run only to Hellifield and back, returning at reduced speed with as Andrew says a hot box. No info as to bogie, loco or tender...

    Tornado went to the NVR today. The only train from the NVR tomorrow is a West Coast service to London Victoria. Anyone know why Tornado went to the NVR (as needed in London again soon) or what the train to Victoria is and finally, whether Tornado may now be operated again by West Coast? Perhaps I am adding 2 + 2 and getting 5, could this be Tornado heading back South?

    Its still DBS operation only, but its clear that Tornado wont be limited exclusively to Belmond duties like clan line was.

    I am told that Tangmere is on 5Z10 15:16 Southall WCRC to Ramsgate EMUD (23:05) today via Orpington and Canterbury West. It is not in RTT apparently so hasn't appeared yet at uksteam.info. But any info on progress would be welcome.

    Also there is a turning move Southall to Greenford and back which could be 61306 I guess.

    Edit: Now confirmed. There are several reports of Tangmere en route to Ramsgate. Presumably it is going for some attention at the depot ?

    Assuming its not going there under its own steam? What facilities do they have that requires a trip to Ramsgate?

    oh I might be able to get that in the can on the way back from filming the flower.

    I assume then that Tangmere is fixed?
