Well, thank you, to you two smug gets - but I did see this update.  ::)

A bit naughty of Pathfinder Tours to still have their original item (http://www.pathfindertours.co.uk/index.php/tour-calendar-reader/events/the-pompey-pacific.html) online, when it had already been cancelled?  >:(

CfN. :o

There's always the Bristol to Kingswear trains (http://www.uksteam.info/tours/t11/torbay.htm) from next week.

There's also one from Birmingham Int to Plymouth on Saturday with steam from Bristol but the times aren't up yet.
