I have heard that it could be sometime in late June is the earliest Ollie could possibly be up and running again, so next week is a no go.
No news on a replacement yet, apart from 44871 is covering for Ollie this weekend.

Cheers John

For all steamhauled tour timings keep an eye on http://www.uksteam.info They usually appear on there a few days in advance of the trips.

Regards, 62440.

I heard that John but I am assuming that the excursion will still go ahead with a different engine

That has made my day I will love seeing Lizzie on the main line even more than Ollie but then again I was always more of a Cavalier than a Roundhead
