I'd have to see closer to the date, as I'm not sure if there is maintenance work being done that weekend on the line between Lowestoft and Liverpool Street. If there isn't, then I can probably come along as I wouldn't have to be out of the city until around 6pm to get home at a reasonable hour for work the next morning, but if there is work being done, then I would have to be out earlier as all the planners are routing me through Ely and Norwich to get home.

I'll see closer to the date :) but sounds like a great idea

Yep, though is 14th March any use to you? We have an R15 then, and you can ask tractakid about his Birthday challenge, which is usually late March/early April and is probably also untried.
