    Tickets are now selling really well as this is not an ordinary steam tour this is a one off " special ". It will not be long before we will be saying Sorry fully booked!
    Get in quick,

    Hi

    Just an update for you guys thinking about it!

    These tickets are now selling really fast and I dont think it will be long now till the tour is sold out.

    This is a very special charity steam tour, please dont miss out if you are thinking about it.

    We may start a reserve list when sold out?

    regards

    That offer of free first class to and from Crewe on the day is a good one and could be worth a bit if you are travelling some distance..

    Not sure?

    they are all FCO coaches.

    We have had a really nice donation of window labels that are very retro, stating the calling and a few passing points.

    Another very nice touch.

    Great idea Ralph, I bet that would cost a fortune but if anyone asks if they can help, then thats going to be suggested

    and everyone gets to take it home at the end of the tour. Brilliant apart from cost.

    We are having a special on board prgramme printed first page by Sir Richard. it will be a nice souvenir.

    cheers

    If people film the event I would happily make a 25 DVD for no cost to be sold afterwards...... The sales of this would go to Train Of Hope. I would then do more at a very low costing and therefore again most the money would end up with Train Of Hope.

    To do this I will need footage to be freely supplied and also some photos would be good

    Hello

    that is a very kind offer.

    Should we see what we get back footage wise and see what weather we get first.

    I would love to see some footage when the plane follows the train.

    Thank you.
