    It will be interesting to see what loco does appear on the front of the 1st Scarborough Flyer when I arrive at Crewe to do my first trip to Scarborough (as a steward).

    Any idea of how long 34067 will be in the Crewe pool? I am booked on the the trip to Canterbury on the Thursday 28th behind her, so could this trip now be hauled by something else?

    Until either 6201 or 70013 are fit to take her place, both hoped to be a couple of weeks.....

    I have heard that the tour left Crewe at 7.24 due to the loco being held outside the station.

    70013 is likely to be out of action for a few weeks while repairs to a piston are completed.
