Does anyone know when 6024 and 5051 are making their way to Stoke Gifford to be connected on to the Duchy arriving Sat morning?

Are these two likely to be arriving together or are they ariving under their own steam... so to speak!

EDIT

Can mod merge this with the apropriate thread. Sorry!

According to tops 5051 is showing at stoke gifford already .Transferd there as 0z00 the same day it arrived at didcot after working up from the west somerset railway.Transferd by wcr presume they mean west cost railways .

Very surprised if 5051 is already at Stoke Gifford, travelled from WSR to Didcot its homebase and would be easier to check over and get its fitness to run check there on friday am.
According to a member of the 6024 support team the two engines leave together at 1310 Friday and arrive at Stoke Gifford 1502.
6024 will be taking coal at Stoke Gifford.
