    Just browsing the SD site and found this one, now correct me if I'm wrong but that's a bit different.

    Steam Dreams started running tours which commenced outside central London last December, and this is the most unusual proposed to date.

    I am hoping that they might start a tour at East Grinstead, now that 3 stations on the line have platforms that take 12 coaches ( Oxted, Upper Warlingham and Sanderstead - although the platform extension are not in use at present) although it would almost certainly have to be a Saturday or Sunday.

    Its nice that there starting from new places. Must be a while since Steam visited Southend. About 5-10 years though maybe less. Southend's nice seeing as my Uncle and Cousin live there.
