    Hello,
    this is my first post so be gentle.
    I am a driver at Manchester and along with 4 colleagues we have been fund raising for CLIC Sargent. A cancer charity caring for children and young people.
    We have a steam tour booked to run on the 1st October 2011.
    We have been busy with writing letters and emailing.
    This has resulted in us contacting some very generous people and companies. Please see our sponsor’s page.
    The steam tour will hopefully depart Crewe at 9am. Headed by The Scots Guardsmen kindly supplied by WCR.
    We have a brass band booked to play at Crewe.
    Provisionally booked Pete Waterman to whistle us off.
    Then its main line to Carlisle while having some bucks fizz and a full English if desired.
    On arrival at Carlisle we hope to be greeted by the mayor and a solo bagpipe player.
    A couple of hours in Carlisle then it’s the return journey via settle, the steamer will leave us at Hellifield. 4/5 course dinner and a bottle of wine for ALL passengers as this "special" is all premier dining.
    There are lots of other thing going on like, eBay auction of Driver Simulator days, cab ride, prototype nose shield off the voyager fleet.
    Limited edition prints and original oil.
    Please see our website and feedback to me any questions or comments.
    I would like to thank the forum for allowing me to promote this event and I would like to add your link to our website.
    Kind regards John

    We can only wish you all the best for this tour and let's hope it sells out.
    Maybe this could be the tour where linesiders wont mind sending a donation after getting their photos of the tour.:)

    Possibly, unless there are other member who wish to share tables, make it a NP day out?
    Who else is on the train?
