Saturday, The Cathedrals Express is due through at 12:41 from London on its way to Chester, it will be pulled by a class 50 diesel. The return trip will be pulled by 34067 Tangmere which is due through at 16:46. Obviously Tangmere will run from Crewe to Chester light engine sometime during Saturday but we aren't certain of the times yet.
