1319

Southern Railway King Arthur Class 4-6-0 30777 "Sir Lamiel" arrives from Waterloo with the initial leg of a round Britain steam tour
"The Atlantic Coast Express"

1346

Southern Railway Battle of Britain Class 4-6-2 34067 "Tangmere" double heads with British Railways Britannia Class 4-6-2 "Britannia" departing for Newquay.


Sir Lamiel leaves afterwards light engine for Yeovil. This means apart from the arrival of Sir Lamiel through Warminster, all departures will be via Clink Rd Junction on the way to Frome.

Sir Lamiel left the National Railway Museum with Oliver Cromwell, OC doing a trip in Kent on the 4th, today Friday, but the movement was stopped at Newark, after the duo caused lineside fires, and considerable delays to the timetabled services. ( Unbelievable after the August we have had ).

Are these still due at those times? thanks in advance

Sorry about the lack of info on this, but there was so much rumour on this trip after the problems of the day before, and in the end almost everything that could be changed, was. Almost everything I thought about posting was either out of time shortly after or awry. Apologies again.

Never mind, these things happen my son went along with my parents and found out on the platform that there would be no trains, he stil enjoyed clicking away though,minus the steam.
