    Have VT stated that they'll be using 6201 for the Shakespeare's this year then?

    Aye. 6201 will haul the 1st July SE with 4965 rostered for the majority of the reaming 10. 5043 will make at least one appearance, with maybe a surprise thrown in here and there. It depends what's around the yard (what an awful problem to have! Lol)

    Would it be possible for Ben or Bob to keep us updated as to what loco will be in use on what date? I'd particularly like to have a ride behind 5043 at some point this year and the Shakespeare's strike me as a cost effective means of doing so.

    Usually the provisional roster is on the VT website once the season is underway.

    I will make sure to post the roster, but we reserve the right to change it at the last minute is a stray engine wonders into the yard. Lol

    I went home to London from my stag do via a Shakespeare a few years back :), Shakespeare's are well timed to London -Birmingham connecting services.

    Count me in for an NP meet up on a Shakespeare...maybe Ben, if theres enough interest we can get an NP carriage on a specific date ?
