    Don't let the British Legion know ! They might transfer allegiance from the Patriot Project ;)

    Or.... once 45551 is complete we could do a Tornado and build a second engine.... and do an original Royal Scot! Call it Royal British Legion......

    To be honest, I'm surprised about the series being there w/ 70013 and 46115 doing the rest of the runs. The question is does RYTC know something that we don't because their are3 weeks between the February 28 and March 21 so between those dates, is that when the S&C is going to be closed?

    • Saturday 14 February 2015 to Monday 16 February 2015 (start of school half term)
    • Saturday 21 February 2015 to Monday 23 February 2015

    Half term = fewer season ticket holders travelling = less compensation to pay for disruption of service.

    Between Monday and Friday maybe, but the weekend either side.. surely a lot of students will be going home / coming back from their holidays ?

    It took me a few times to see Leander as I viewed the clip.
