I would prefer three - some people would for mileage/red pen purposes.
More of a Ned than a thrash merchant then? Singles are the way forward

Coach E
Lets hope SC is not leading to Weymouth so I have a chance for some heads out on the return trip.
I would prefer two, would mean the two would have to work harder and thus louder compared to 3.
Accepted.
Won't be doing much window hanging or flailing on this tour, nice relaxed day out for me this will be
Gotta be seeing as I'm bringing along a normal!
Yes but that isn't stopping me is it Jamie
Quite a few members going on this. Unlucky that your in coach E, but I'm sure you'll see me out of a window in coach D. Where you boarding the tour?

Yeah, D is closer to the rear mparsonz .
Should be lovely and hellfire coming across the bay :razz:.
Only in 1 direction
You'll always find me in Coach A/B of any tours I do - I do have preferences when it comes to certain loco types though!
Coach E is right in the middle of the train 8)
Yep, I only ever do 37 tours and book via KG which means i'm always in coach A, still found out what its like to suffer E when I nooked via someone else on the Spitfire tour, still a good laugh though, created an absoulte riot, screamed at some chavs round that piffling cumbrian bit and gave a well known fare evader a bit of stick as well as filling a certain person bag with marmalade, so all in all a good day. Didn't see you for some top thrash over Edale out the front window on the first FC coach (Paget Palace out of bounds) last week, top stuff, load 13 and a dead 401, hammered it into to the ground.
OK - where are all the photos? Would love to see them after this tour.
Any marmalade gen??
Spitfire was coach B for us traction tart neds! Keep the riff-raff in the middle!
The chavs on their bikes on the platform at Whitehaven? I was in coach B but moved to coach J before it got dark/cold. I couldn't hear much even from coach B hock:.
Well i had e-mailed Spitfire before after the 87 farce and they said they would garutee us seats at the back of coach A or front of Coach B but we still managed to end up in the middle of E, still good though as we had opening windoes at our seats, perfect for giving the normals the gen
Did you or whoever booked mention this on the booking form when you/they booked?
Didn't need to send another booking form as one had gone for the 87 tour, which just transfered out bookings across and requested near the front but didn't get it, saved £7 though
Got coach A last year to Paignton on the Compass Tour without requesting it :razz:
Aye, 47847, 47805 and a DBSO
Should only be about 8 coaches, limited load tour cos the platforms at Weymouth can only hold 12 total so 3+8 = 11 not to mention allowing for safe minimum distance from the stops.Coach E

3 locosIt will be load 9 according to the letter that came with the tickets, 6 standard, 2 first and a buffet coach. (could possilby be a staff coach as well)
Not 3 locos now apparently. Better with 2...more thrash (even if they are 20's).
I will not reveal my source, but at this current point in time, the gen is kosher. Given the weather forecast, there will be some kind of rancid heat producing device on the back (a duff contraption or ronnie).Where'd you get this information, because it's not on the Spitfire Railtours site

Might be worth taking the extra pair of socks should you get put in one of Carnforth's finest coaches :roll:Saves me having to wear 2 pairs of socks on the train! A pair and some heat sounds fine by me.

Ooooh, a pair of complete Aston traction tarts!Thought you rated them now after 142...I've heard tube is producing for it as well now out of Oxford, why the hell is he doing it, the other week he was banging on about flagging it bacause 20's are not proper locos as they only have one cab or some crap like that, knock some sence into him for me please 402?
