Virgin Cross Country will be running special trains hauled by class 67's from Longbridge to Paignton from Monday May 30th to Friday June 3rd, to provide former Rover workers with a day out to the seaside.
The trips were planned before the demise of Rover, to keep VXC drivers acquainted with the locos, but it was decided to allow redundant Rover staff to enjoy the trips as a goodwill gesture. I don't have any timings as yet, but if I can find them I'll post them here.
Cheers,
Andy
