    Well to coin a phrase to start with, "calm down dear !"

    I think you'll find this is a thing called humour ? Might be worth your while investing in a sense of it, not to mention a lesson in how not to make posts that could be attributed to a six year old !

    None that I've seen and I'm still in Weston SM, but having just read through the other threads relating to the 4464 disaster, 71000 was due to move to Bristol at 44am this morning so whether that's happened I don't know. 60163 should also have moved by now IF she's being used ? I have tweeted the A1 people asking them if the rumours are true. Nothing on their twitter feed already so will see what, if anything comes back.

    60163 IS taking over 4464's role tomorrow according to UK Steam so in theory they should be at Bristol BH by now, or not long from now.

    Is it? On my computer and phone, it still says TBA. I have also been reading on the rail gens that ONLY 71000 was on the move this morning, accompanied by 67020.

    Uksteam has TBA for the 2nd loco. No mention of Tornado.
    Message from ''clarence67basher'' (the name is genuine!) ....67020 hauling a kettle westbound thru Swindon 06.50hrs.

    The class 50 ran from Cardiff to Plymouth last Saturday. Unfortunately it failed at Bristol on the return.
    So may it be 'Kettles' or 'boxes', 'steam' or 'diesel' .....they all have their good and bad days.

    Let's keep calm boys. <BJ>

    Very much so, but isn't it odd that we're seeing different versions of "UK Steam"at the same time ?
