No. 6989 Wightwick Hall has been away for a filming session for the new Harry Potter TV series.
The previously green liveried locomotive returned to Buckinghamshire Railway Centre just a few days ago in her red livery.
She has changed colour to play the role of the Hogwarts Express, but for now, she will be offering steam train rides until she heads off again for filming next year.
On the 5th October and the 19th November, visitors can take a trip behind the TV star locomotive.
Tickets cost £12.50 for adults, £8.50 for children, and £11.50 for seniors, with the option of a family ticket

Harry Potter has already gobbled up 5972 Olton Hall and 4920 Dumbleton Hall, and now 6989 Wightwick Hall. This is way beyond a joke, and it has got to stop. There are other concerns, of a moral and ethical nature, about the Harry Potter books. So it is high time the bottom fell out of the Harry Potter industry.
I believe the intention is to return 6989 back to her original colours (either GWR or BR) once filming has wrapped
Totally wrong, great to see the Halls being used commercially and no such thing as bad publicity. I rather see the bottom fall out of Trump & Putin, Harry Potter is great and actually fiction.
