Christmas Sussex Belle 26/11/19
The Railway Touring Company is running it's usual pre-Christmas Sussex Belle railtour from London Victoria to Eastbourne via Haywards Heath & Lewes, with a return via Hastings and Tonbrige on 26th November.
Recently, the advertised loco had been ex-LNER A4 pacific No.60009 'Union of South Africa' which would have been a real first for this part of the Southern network. I had my suspicions that gauging might be a problem, and unfortunately the RTC's website has now changed the rostered loco to ex-LMS Black 5 No.45407. I don't know if this is due to gauging problems with the A4 and in any case, I'll still turn out to see 45407! Tony

It's always exciting to see historic locomotives in action, and while it's disappointing that the advertised locomotive for the Sussex Belle railtour has changed, ex-LMS Black 5 No.45407 is still a fantastic sight to behold. Gauging issues can indeed sometimes impact the choice of locomotive for specific routes, but regardless of the change, witnessing a steam locomotive in action is a special experience. Enjoy the railtour and the opportunity to see No.45407 in action!
