Anyone in the Stevenage area - there will be two steam trains going through about 20.45 tonight, the Oliver Cromwell and the new Tornado which may be with the Sir Nigel Gresley as well. I saw the Tornado this morning just north of Huntingdon and it will be returning from York about 19.15 Peatboghorror, Connington for water at 19.35, Huntingdon 20.15, Potters Bar 21.00. It's a very quite train!!!

I saw the return, went to Connington level crossing as the water stop is in the middle of nowhere with no public access. The Sir Nige was doing the return. After it passed I zoomed down to Woodwalton and saw it again as it chuffed along the elevated section on the edge of the Fen - great sight on a lovely evening, there were loads of people out smile
