    Sadly, I won't be out & about for this as I'm train steward on a diesel railtour to Kingswear. So I leave it to the handy cameramen of YouTube to provide me with footage of what I will miss. Which is shaping to be an outstanding railtour.

    Hopeful if this is an success, they could always run it again next year??

    Enjoy your trip tomorrow Jeff, I thought we might bump into each other on Warrington station to see the return.

    Batteries on charge tonight ready for tomorrow, I am hoping to see 5043 in 3 or 4 locations.

    I hope all of you working or travelling on the tour have a great day and all goes well :thumb:

    Neil.

    It's just been announced on local radio, there are delays of up to 45 minutes at the moment at Man Vic due to a signalling fault. Lets hope it clears soon.
