I totally agree. Very much appreciate the information but it often arrives too late to arrange viewings. Any chance of earlier updates please?
Hi Robert,
We will make sure these sort of timings are out the morning prior to the event taking place (e.g. Friday morning for a Saturday railtour).
However, we are slowly making this page available for tours and test runs… https://www.railadvent.co.uk/steam-locomotives-on-the-mainline
I hope this helps
Regards

A lot of good info arrives too late- eg what’s happening (happened) this Saturday, so I missed Duchess of Sutherland in Plymouth and will miss Clun Castle in Oxford. Oh well …
Thank you for what you do anyway.
