For anyone suffering from Flying Scotsman deprivation, it looks like there's another chance to get close and cosy at Oxford Parkway station on Sunday 13th March.  Look up Steam Dreams https://www.steamdreams.co.uk/tours.php?loco=6351 for more info.

@RodEvans - I did see that. Speaking as a former permanent way engineer, I cannot for the like of me accept that the rails had exceeded the specified critical rail temperature today!! A False Flag issue?? :)

Quelle dommage!  According to realtime, "cancelled due to temporary speed restrictions as a result of heat (X4)".  Make of that what you will...

Is this still happening with the weather/delays on the railways because of Storm Eunice?
