    Please do. Having those dates so far in advance might help me co-ordinate one with a Sun Hols bargain break, shame the (dog friendly) site with the WSR running alongside it (where the FS will be in May) isn't included anymore.

      My sister (older than me) happened to mention that trip the other day. Her boyfriend at the time was an enthusiast so she remembered that it was an A4 that we travelled on. I think that was the 'Mallard' style engine.

      "Enjoy the view from the driving seat of the world's most famous steam locomotive as Flying Scotsman travels the length of the Severn Valley Railway, with 'cab cameras' capturing all the action from the footplate. Veteran driver Roger Norfolk and fireman Ryan Green guide this national treasure through the beautiful countryside of the English midlands, from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster. Roger and Ryan explain the skills involved in taking control of the Scotsman, while hundreds of enthusiasts watch and wave from platforms, bridges and surrounding fields.!
