Two steam specials to Bristol 7-9-05

Post by James »

SR Battle Of Britain Class 34067 "Tangmere" is heading in via Bath with a VSOE Pullman train, whilst GWR King 6024 "King Edward I" is heading through from the Taunton direction to Stratford Upon Avon, also via Bath!

Times for the latter at http://uksteam.info/tours/t05/t0907a.htm

Early and late visits for the King, hopefully the trainload of posho's will be at a more civilised time :wink:

I've just telephoned VSOE and the nice lady on the phone checked the train times:

Wednesday 7th: Bristol 13:05a, 16:35d :D

Thursday 8th: Bath 13:00d :D

Presumably the train will be stationed (no pun intended) at Bristol on Wednesday night and then driven to Bath for the 13:00 departure on Thursday, but I could not determine a time for this. :(
