[0645] NOW 0725 on Sat 19 June - Flying Scotsman at Harringay, again

A very early start for Flying Scotsman, again to York, but staying there this time after Thursday's out-and-back trip. The Railway Touring Company's website gives an 0640 departure from King's Cross on Saturday, which may be an approximation by them. [EDIT 17/06: Departure time now posted as 0720 from King's Cross].

As for Thursday 17th, I can't give the time of the return leg at Harringay - Steam Dreams, the tour company, have now removed all reference to the Thursday outing. I hope that's only been done to reduce the risk of trespass by unsafe sightseers, rather than a sign of a late cancellation.

Future steam - not much. No 'Tornado' past us this year until Christmas, and only a single London visit for it till then - Euston on Sat 15 July, but at 0700 or so. The Merchant Navy class 'Clan Line' makes a very rare appearance on Sat 28 August at around 0830, and there may be another steam excursion on that day. Flying Scotsman is back on Sat 25 September around 0800 with 'The Jolly Fisherman' to Skegness.

Trips beyond that date are yet to be announced - and in any case we are at the mercy of:

'The Data'...
