The above tour will be running from Rawtenstall to Cambridge featuring ELR flagship loco 40145 throughout, also a possible mini tour to Stanstead Airport should there be sufficient support. Please follow this link for the booking form: http://www.cfps.co.uk/cambridgenonmembers.pdf
Actively involved with diesel preservation for a while but cannot see the point of listing things here to make myself look 'important'
Received a text from a friend on board that the 40 had failed at/near Grantham and the 67 on the rear has gone on the front with Stansted tour cancelled due delays.

The tour is being towed back to the ELR by the 67, 55022 RSG is going to meet the tour at Castleton as far as I know. No other information as far as I know of is available yet.
Although I was not on the tour I can confirm that No.4 traction motor has suffered a flashover. Info from Lee Kenny on the loco not speculation and rumour from the net.
