    According to uksteam info, Tangmere is down to run from Bristol to Southall on Tuesday, As far as I am aware, she is currently still at Carnforth. Does anyone know when the move from Carnforth to Bristol will occur?
    Thanks

    It should be moving to Southall, as it is working the first leg of the Great Britain II from Victoria to Bristol on Monday.

    I've just being informed that it's moving from Carnforth to Southall today about mid-dayish.

    But don't hold me to that one.

    Obviously this is the last year of running mainline for Tangmere... So where will she be running after this year till the end of her *Boiler* ticket? NYMR?

    Knowing WCRC i'd say it's more likely she will be retubed to run mainline for an additional 3 years than go a preserved line.
