Rail tour from London Victoria to Bognor Regis and Littlehampton this coming Saturday
Planned to be steam hauled however locomotive is not yet confirmed
Braunton, Royal Scot nor Cromwell can haul due to gauging limitations.

Railway Touring Company tour with no times yet on RTT.

Anyone seeing this delightful excursion?

I'm hoping to catch this tour at either Three Bridges or Balcombe on the outbound journey if I can. Can't do the actual trip itself as working 3.30-midnight on Saturday.

Hoping to see it either at Hove, or somewhere in the area where I can watch it in motion (possibly Portslade).

Portslade is usually quite good, and alrington as it is picking up speed after the cliftonville spur
46100 is quoted but not certain, railway herald is saying its out of guage but we shall see

Been informed elsewhere that 46100 (steam loco) and 47746 (diesel) will be operating today's Bognor Belle. I would loved to have been on this trip seeing as it's a 'local' trip for me, but it's not to be this time. Have a great day if anyone from here happens to be on board later on.

Cheers

Ben

Here is my video of the tour

Points were set to the wrong platform at Preston park meaning it couldn't take in water as expected
So it went to lovers walk and then reversed back up to Preston park correct platform
This made it 50L
