Steam train photo opportunity

The steam train Tornado will be travelling from Doncaster to Edinburgh tomorrow on the east coast main line if anyone is interested. The weather looks a bit shit but I’m sure a few people won’t be bothered about flying in the strong winds forecast.

Here is the timetable for heading north.

Thanks for this info, the morning trip might just miss the weather. Now just have to find a good spot to fly from. Colton North junction is a good spot, plenty of open space

Really windy flying conditions but I thought I would give it ago. Best I could get and I really need more practice with my video skills.

Brilliant, thanks for this. I was going to give it a go myself but my bed was calling me when I got in from night shift at 6am. I was supposed to finish at 1am!!!

Wish I had seen this post earlier,

Could catch it as it passes later but windy and wet at the moment,

Bummer! It’s back up next month sometime, when I get the heads up I will let you know

This can be a good long-term guide to steam trains … some can be subject to re-scheduling.

Oh - and whilst that’s a schedule of the “tours” … obviously the trains need to get from their homes to the start and back again afterwards … and that’s when RealTimeTrains can be useful. :wink:
