Oct 10th steamex featuring a "Castle" has been caped but, the Railway Touring Company’s "Royal Scot" will presumably feature 86259 on the Euston-Crewe legs of the tour. Provisional times 0700 Euston, 0800 MK – calls here.
A can returns inside WN depot! First AC electric inside their old haunt for many years, 86401 had migrated back outside the depot later in the week.
Possibly a good week for fans of 86’1,’2 and "7" action next week….
