firbeck 860 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Sorry a bit late with this one for various reasons, 60007 is running down to Kings X this morning and will be passing Grantham at 10:53, the timings are available if you Google Steam Tours 2009, quite a few things through Grantham to Lincoln in the next few days.

rob237 89 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Didn't make it! Reminds me of the 1959 event when Sir Nigel hauled the SLS special back to Kings Cross from Donny, and clocked 112mph down Stoke bank. Might seem small beer by today's speeds, but quite amazing in the latter steam days. A long departed Grantham top-link driver once told me that the fastest A4 of them all, bar none, was Wild Swan...
