6th July 2003
Past Time Rail
The Arundel Belle
Tour cancelled per reasons given in note (1).
Planned route & locos:
Booked Loco(s) | Booked Route |
steam: 34027 'Taw Valley' | London Victoria - Horsham - Arundel - Bognor Regis |
diesel | Bognor Regis - Barnham - Littlehampton |
steam: 34027 'Taw Valley' | Littlehampton - Barnham - Chichester - Havant - Fareham - Botley - Winchester - Basingstoke - Winchfield - London Victoria |
Notes :
(1) John Clifford comments : 34027 had originally been scheduled to be running
in the London area throughout July but, according to Past Time, was then not
coming until the end of July. The movement costs from & back to the Severn
Valley were prohibitive for just a single trip. They had hoped to use an
alternative engine but this has suffered mechanical problems. Although they
don't say so this was, presumably, 34067 'Tangmere'.
