Hi Garry.I was on a steam rail trip yesterday from Edinburgh to Ayr return.The line goes right past Prestwick so I took my airband.Of course there was nothing happening because it was closed.I didn't know until I saw it on tv when got home.There was nothing on the ATIS about it that I heard.It was still a good day out!
In case anyone is interested the engine was 45407 a black5.

Seems to be sort of moving for longer range at least but there appears to be many cancellations.
