21.28 southbound ....1.13 [A.M. Nov 7th] ....northbound ....I dont think I'll be bothering ....some-ones taking the "P-one-fifty-five" methinks ...

[filonian]

If these times are correct I don't think I will Be bothered also,but as you say Terry I think someone is wrong.

[TerryB]

If these times are correct ...........
......... I think someone is wrong.

They're running it during "darkness hours" ....
It keeps it a "mystery" [no-one photographs it running ]
They will be wanting us to pay them just for taking photographs of the darned thing .... ....
Or ....BR?/NotworkFail? .... dont trust it and are expecting it to break down ...so theyre giving it an allocated running time so that it causes minimum "delay & confusion" if it does break down ...
Either way AFAIC ....they can stick it where the sun dont shine ...

Despite my earlier commemnts [below]...
I turned out tonight to see "60163" come through my "local patch" ...I got switbo to take me in her car to "Aldwarke Junction" ...I used to spend many happy hours as a child [and theres a pub nearby ...the "Station Hotel" would ya believe ...although the Railway Station is long gone] ....
I'd no sooner got outa the car,when the loco came through....It was 10 minutes early
It looks and sounds every bit as good as it should do.
Although "grey primer" and the logo "www.tornadoA1steamtrust.com@hotmail.uk" .. [or whatever it sez] does nothing to enhance its appearance ...
I think I prefer BR Green & the Rampant Lion ...
I did'nt bother with the pint I was gonna have in the "Station Hotel" either ....
