Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Steam at Harringay, Sat 31 Aug, 0835-0845 [now with updated 'rest-of-2019' info]
A trip to the seaside (Lowestoft) via Cambridge, Ely and Norwich. Locomotive is 'Mayflower' in green livery.
The train operator (Steam Dreams) website has it leaving Kings Cross at 0827, but the Real Time Trains website, which takes information from Network Rail, gives a later departure at 0838, hence the spread of times in the title.
If really keen it can also be seen about 0650 coming off the Harringay Curve and alongside Harringay station on its way to reverse into Kings Cross using the flyover just north of the station.
Tour details here, live times here.
The rest of 2019's (provisional) steam: [updated 28/10 & 11/11]
Sun 17 Nov, Mayflower, 0915ish. Now timed for 0926 at Harringay. Live times here. Details here. Now from Ealing Broadway not Kings Cross, therefore using the Harringay Curve.
Separate post to follow closer to Sunday.
Sat 30 Nov, Duchess of Sutherland Union of South Africa, possibly for the last time, about 0750, unusually via the Harringay Curve. Details here.
Sat+Sun 7&8/12, both around 0900. Saturday around 0900, details here. Sunday now around 1015, details here.
Sat 14 Dec but in the dark at 0635 Tornado in twilight around 0730 .

Hey thanks for the heads up.
Will it actually go past Hornsey & Haringay stations ?

Back after a break. Yes it did - the 'live times' link [here for the next few days] shows the detailed route station by station. Also whether it runs past the station platform [2], the 'goods line' [GL] by the high retaining wall or, by omission, the 'fast line' between the two platforms at Harringay.
If, though it's rare, there's a steam-hauled excursion through Harringay Green Lanes station on the Gospel Oak-Barking Overground line, the station full name will be in the title of the post to distinguish it from Harringay [station].
