UPDATE- NOT!! (Steam at last - Mayflower, Sun 16th Aug about 0915)

UPDATE, Saturday 10.00 This train will now be (vintage) diesel hauled, according to the uksteam.info and Steam Dreams websites. Sorry to raise hopes.

  Hush, hush, whisper who dares,

 Mayflower should be attracting stares.

 (with apologies to A A Milne)

  After five months of waiting, and barring any last-minute postponement or diesel substitution, a steam-hauled train service will pass through Harringay station on Sunday morning around 0915, possibly through platform 2 rather than the fast line. It's an outing to York on the Cathedrals Express. Detailed times here, return around 2240.

Footnote There have also been two fleeting sightings of Tornado, neither of them a full 'bring the kids' event worth an alert on HoL. In one it was returning the White Rose to London, coasting through Harringay at twilight (not steam-hauled outbound but diesel - a Deltic, sounds of the 70s). There was a nod towards that in the previous discussion on HoL ( ... And where did they all go?). The other was on a weekday lunchtime, hauling just its support coach on the way to the Nene Valley Railway at Peterborough. The place to go for such detailed information as the latter trip is the Locomotive Movements page of uksteam.info (the website linked to above for journey details).
