Now cancelled.

We’d previously suggested that last Saturday we might see a visit from “Sir Nigel Gresley” and sister A4 60019 “Bittern” but when the detailed timetables were published it turned out they were using a different route. However we have once last steam hauled visit this year. On Tuesday (21/12) LMS Black Five 45305 “Alderman A E Draper” will pass Milton twice hauling “The Cathedrals Express” service from London to Norwich and back.

You can find more details here and as you’ll see it will pass Fen Road level crossing at about 11:45am heading north. It will return after dark at about 7:50pm.
