The Feeder service is now on sale. The service is capacity controlled.

I understand that over 70% of the tickets have now been sold for Flying Scotsman services and that to all intents and purposes Saturday and Sunday are sold out - just a few single seats left.

Just passed through York at 10:13 and FS was sitting outside the NRM with black smoke coming out of the chimney. Not long now!

No mention on UKSteam.info fir some reason - I thought that all movements were listed there. Tomorrow's run from Southall to Swanage is shown though.

I couldn't either. I don't think that anything is shown in RTT until a couple of weeks beforehand, and no loco movements at all are shown on UKSteam.info beyond the end opf March - even though it is less than two weeks away- so I assume that the same applies to them.

I'd appreciate advice on how to find these movements to and from the Swanage Railway on RTT, because 46521 has been hired from the GCR for the Spring Steam Up and due to arrive tomorrow (or is it arriving by road?)

Meanwhile, 31806 is now in Herston works and expected to be out of service for a couple of months

Location Wareham, switch to detailed view, time 0000-2359, date when you think something may be happening.
Movements to Swanage will appear in the Destination column.
Movements from Swanage will appear in the Origin column.
Click on the ID (“Headcode”) that will show the route.
For multi-leg journeys, like FS from NRM York to Swanage, you then need to repeat using the last Destination as the Origin.
Once you got the hang of things you can probably just search on STP, i.e. remove WTT and VAR.

Edit: Just discovered that to search on Swanage you type SGE. Still learning myself

BBC report from Swanage

The iconic steam locomotive and the observation carriage will then be on static display at Corfe Castle station from 27 March - 10 April.

Very well organised event which generated a lot of interest in the region. Attended the final day and had some gorgeous weather.
