Two steam locos available for one train ! Take note Railway Touring Company. How much revenue have you lost through cancellation of trains or diesel substitutes because of the unavailability of a suitable West Coast steam loco ? West Coast’s problems are self inflicted and it is time RTC found a more reliable operator.
