Class 31 Tour?
I don't know if any enthusiasts or railway workers who are members of the Railway Forum have any details of a proposed Class 31 tour with Pathfinder Tours on 6 June. I have heard in the press that it is to visit Southend, does anybody know if this is a rumour? If it is for real, where else is it visiting?

I Love the Class 31's, and also Southend when a kid, so Very interested in this tour and will have to search for the details.

They said about this initially (I assume after dozens of queries) on The Mersey Mancunian of 24th January 2009, about all we were told is that it is hoped to be some sort of collaboration with A1A using 31s on an Essex branches tour, with details being known in the next few weeks. It'll be 3 weeks since then on Saturday, so I'm not expecting owt to be mentioned until Monday 16th February 2009. Possibly to ensure that they get The Cwm and Go sorted first.
I don't want to miss this though, a rare opportunity to get the branches down there done on something proper rather than sitting on a variety of 315s, 321s and 360s!

Class 31 Tour
Yes
It is a long time since we sampled Class 31s on a tour. I did hear in the past, if this is correct, that EWS would not sign Class 31s? If this is true, either a crew hired in from West Coast Railways, Freightliner or GBRF would be used?
