Why the hell did they call it the farewell tour?  Its going in for an overhaul isn't it or is it going off the line permanently?

A. marketing 

B. She's having a year at the Mid-Hants, so we won't see Bittern back out on the mainline for at least three or four years, depending on the current state of her spare boiler
