Morning Graeme,
I was just jesting and being a bit facetious because if they don't find a vaccine soon I think most steam excursions will be curtailed as they are normally fully booked and packed, we did the London to York in 2014 hauled by, I think it was engine No 1843, Union of South Africa, and then diesel hauled back to London, a fantastic day out with dining, let us see how this unfolds and if hotels manage to open up again, because at the moment everything is up in the air, but I certainly want to meet up in the future that is for sure.
DarkEnergy, hi,
If this goes for 50p I think we may be able to organise our own steam excursion, and of course, it would be a pleasure to travel with you.
DavePenny,
that is a coincidence you are thinking of flying from Newquay, we were so pleased when Southend airport announced it was going to start flights to Newquay which would speed up our holiday travel to the Isles of Scilly where we often go and stay at the Star Castle where we got married and return for our anniversaries as it holds special memories, but they only fly at peak season so it was no good to us who want to fly in mid-May, so back to using the car to Landsend airport and Skybus.
Have a good Sunday all the weather is lovely at the moment.
