    The timetable should be up Thurs/Fri, but don't quote me on it...............................

    According to the A1 website 60163 will be there from Wednesday, when the triple headed move takes place isn't known yet, it could be Tuesday or Wednesday......... nothing showing on RTT as yet....................................... "AND" there's speculation on FB that 70000 may not be ready in time............................... we shall see, if she's out and about this weekend......................................

    Hi Dave,

    Without looking on Facebook. What's Wrong with 70000

    Cheers

    If it's the post I've replied to on FB, then it's Heritage Railway magazine getting their facts wrong... Something about 70000 not going on the ML until the new year was the comment I responded to.

    I'm saying nothing!

    Lee,

    TBH I have no idea (does anybody????) there is a post by a certain Mr Temple on the MHR FB page (I think!) whether or not he's "stirring it" I have no idea, he may ahve just picked up about last weekend and put 2&2 together and made 5..................... all will be revealed next week when the convoy makes its way down!!

    A bit of a "Freudian slip" there with 34046!
    And a WD loco is coming instead of Tornado (90016 was LNER 63016): http://www.time-capsules.co.uk/picture/number3412.asp

    Thanks to David at uksteam.info - 60163, 70000 and 34046 are (provisionally) making their way to the MHR on Tuesday next week.

    *cue large amounts of speculation regarding which way the engines will be facing*

    Perfect timing, am at work the two days before and the two days after! :D

    Well, as I type, there's nothing on RTT for the 22nd.................................. and considering the Brit is supposed to be out and about on Saturday, the only movement out of Southall at the mo, is Ollie's move Ooop North tomorrow..................................................
