Engine is full steam ahead
7:50am Saturday 14th February 2009 in Search Module By David Connop Price
BRITAIN’S newest steam engine will run through Basingstoke twice today.
Tornado, unveiled to the public last August, was the first steam locomotive built from scratch in England since the 1960s. Construction took 18 years and cost more than £3m.
The locomotive is scheduled to pass through Basingstoke at 11.40am and 2.10pm, and stop for water at Overton between 11.50am and noon.
