Richard Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Remember it's going from York to Edinburgh on the 28th. It's not making the return journey until the 7th of March. It's rumoured to be spending the week in the yard at Thornton.Considering the crowds that gather wherever it goes I thought it would be fully booked weeks ago but I could have booked four seats. It's not even that expensive, £95 for and adult and £50 for a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortinaDave Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You could drive into the Thornton yard until a few weeks ago and gawp at the Union of South Africa but they've put monster gates up now so you can't get anywhere near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew e Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Fact du jour: If you stand a stationary steam loco under overhed wires, your supposed to have a spotter to make sure the overheads don't track (arc electricity).As an aside the Flying Scotsman is off Southall 14:30 monday, Reading an hour later, LeamingtonSpa 18:21, Snow Hill by 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Would you have travelled all the way up to York to see it? Here is the return journey timetable for next week. The first box (1Z43) is the coaches being taken up to Edinburgh by diesel power. http://www.uksteam.info/tours/t09/t0307a.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
