Just booked the 47 one managed to find a hotel for £50 yay me,well it was Mrs 31160 but you get my point

Proper bargain is what it is, not my cup of tea but hopefully it will fill and it works for them

There are a couple of new tours up for booking 7th September Crewe to Cardiff via HOW back via lickey 2 x 37/4 for the frankly amazing price of £80 standard and the 47/7 Crewe to Edinburgh via lanark and the sub etc, next day tweedbank North Berwick, leven and the line through Alloa, again mega...

No I don't hence me saying arh 033 one of my last three

Well there is a rumour I've heard that it MAY be attending a gala in the middle of May, and I'm not saying anymore about that

Well there's picnic tables on a piece of fake grass on the platform at Carlisle if that counts, good view of the trains from there obvs

What about a nice trundle down the heart of Wales with a break at Swansea back via Marches id be well up for that and then the lower speed wouldn't matter so much

I wonder what the next tour to be announced will be? I'm surprised that there hasn't been more use of the new class 20s

Neither do WCRC,well at least those that are legal to run it with
