Brilliant shots and captures there Mark like always! Good to see the gold drax wagon with 66793! There has been timings put up for a railtour on 1st March coming from Manchester Victoria going to Holyhead on 1Z67 and then coming back on 1Z68 and class 50s on a railtour on May 26 too!

Thanks for that, which sites are the railtour details on?

[@Class37611_Denise]

@Sparkynl Your welcome! The railtour on 1st March is on realtime trains but when I looked at rail advent it shows Machester Piccadilly to Holyhead but it's from Machester Victoria to Holyhead so I got no idea what will be on it unfortunately. On rail advent it doesn't show that there will be a class 50 railtour either. There is no timings yet for the BLS class 50 railtour on 26th May, look closer to the time.
