steam train due at Lime St station - Sat 19th July

Yes, although there's still a fair bit of work to do before it's reinstated.

To anybody with an interest in old diesels, "Western" loco D1015 Western Champion is working a charter train from Salisbury to Lime Street tomorrow, arriving at Lime St at 1130 and departing at 1743. The train will be stabled at the carriage sidings at Edge Hill in between these times.

Although they visited Birkenhead Woodside in the 60s, this will be the first known visit of a "Western" to Liverpool.

well lets hope so, although I'm not optimistic...

We have been advised by the DTG, owners of D1015 "Western Champion", that the locomotive has been booked in for maintenance during the months of June & July and therefore will no longer be available for our tour.
