    There appears to be some confusion. 60163 is running Crewe - Carlisle (VIA SHAP) on 21st April, 2010 - return via Settle. Tornado comes off at Hellifield. The train is to and from Euston. Book through Steam Dreams - it isn't full yet but don't hang about!

    Just to clarify the confusion about 60163 in the north-west:
    14th April, the Cumbrian Coast Express, out via Maryport, back via S&C. Sold out.
    21st April, the Border Raider, out via Shap, back via S&C. Not yet sold out, it seems from UKSteam.
