With a 97 thrown in too
I knew of this tour in the pipeline, but a friend sent me this earlier to conform:
14th July
I have been advised by the promoter that this train is a goer! it will be just a single Class 50 as opposed to a pair...
The full itinerary is:
50 (either 50044 or 50049) Padd-Derby via Oxford, Coventry and Sutton Park
31 + 97 Derby to Skegness
50 Skegness-Lincoln-Doncaster
31/97 Doncaster-Sheffield-Toton-Derby
50 Derby-Sutton Coldfield-Coventry-padd
Pu/sds to be confirmed but should include Padd (circa 0600/2330) Reading, Oxford, Coventry and Birmingham International. Other pick ups may/will/should be included - i'll update when the exact plan is confirmed
Fares to be confirmed but around £65 Standard class. there should be First Class as well, but no dining option. A buffet will be provided.
A stop at Wainfleet on the outward and return is being looked at. Break in skegness circa 3 hours.
Pathfinder Tours will be handing the bookings.
Please support this train, it is for a good cause!
It's a shame I'm on holiday!
