I have learnt today that 70013 Oliver Cromwell is to make an anniversary run from Liverpool Street to Norwich on Wednesday 11th June. Timings I don't have, but I read about this in a Railway Magazine I bought today, so thought I would give you all advance notice.

When I first visited Bressingham Gardens many years ago and it was there, I had tremendous pleasure of being able to ride on the footplate.

Thanks for posting. Hopefully I'll be on study leave on the 11th, I'm sure I can spare one afternoon! It'll be nice to see a 'proper' Steam locomotive in its native territory. As much as I like the Bullied Spam Can, Oliver Cromwell is far better.

This Tour as such, is being organised by Steam Dreams and 70013 will carry the original 'The Norfolkman' headboard after being offered by its owner.

Phew! Just a "kettle"! I thought the warty faced parlimentarian was returning to dispose of the Crown by civil war again! Laughing

I was told last week that this has now been cancelled and resheduled due to some problem or another. It has now been confirmed in the magazine Heritage Railway issue 110 that I got today.
