    Although I have crossed swords with buseng in the past, I think he has as much right as any of us to ask a rhetorical question.

    I was just asking generally, a common sense solution once it was known 34067 (or any other steam loco) wasn't available.
    I think you find other tour operators cancel once it is known any steam haulage is not going to happen.
    Customer consideration & all that.
    I think you will find it happens in other leisure industries, ie sport/entertainment/concerts etc. When the advertised "performers" aren't available.

    Is that for repairs Ralph? I guess they can't use Southall at the moment?
