    Ok lads, this one's a bit quiet - anyone else on board apart from me and Mrs S and friends for my birthday bash :party:? Still a several seats left I'm told. http://www.a1steam.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=148 Iain

    Sounds like a nice trip, but it's not visible on the Steam Dreams website as far as I can see. Nor does the A1Steam website give any contact details.

    I know it sometimes seems like Tornado markets itself, but I think someone should take a look at the lack of web presence for this trip!

    We're in 1st lite, bring yer own bottle 'n bird (and pies). Hopefully going for a 50's period look, if the ladies get their act together! E-tickets just arrived, but no timings thanks to new 'improved' NR computer apparently.

    Sheff, he's been looking at the light engine move times for the day before.

    Proper times for our trip now on Steam Dreams website. If you're joining at Tamworth then it's 08 53 dep with a 21 22 arrival back.

    Yes, there's another one darn sarf .. Southend Victoria. Can't think of any others unless you count St Budeaux Victoria Road or closed stations such as Sheffield Victoria and Nottingham Victoria.
