Please keep an eye on this page for the annual diary of Tornado’s 2019 main line tours. More details will be published on this website as more trains are finalised. Please note that bookings are through the agent listed for the tour, not through the A1SLT.
The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust is proud that Tornado will continue to be operated on the Network Rail main line by DB Cargo, which has worked successfully with the Trust since the locomotive’s completion in 2008.
