Has anyone got the timings for the Northern Belle on 31st December? Apparently it stops at Carnforth to let in the New Year. Cheers!

47 minutes at Carnforth to see in the New Year. Erm. Now, if it included a tour of the WCRC depot I might think differently!

Thanks. I can't quite see the point of travelling to Barrow and back in the pitch dark, but I'm sure it will be fun.

Easy option to turn the train around.

It's more about the experience inside the train, that said I hate not being able to see anything (ahem certain railtours postponed to late December spring to mind).

Too right, I'm hoping to get up there next month

Will the stock be coming from Carnforth or elsewhere? Anyone got the ECS schedule? Thanks

The stock will be coming from Crewe as that's where DRS keep it.

I don't have any timings for the ECS as yet but guess it will be arriving at Victoria around 10-15 minutes before departure time. It could go either way in though, via Ashburys or via Chat Moss.

DRS don't look after the stock, LNWR (of Crewe) do though.

Thanks, Sam

Indeed they do, it's kept in the shed where the metal fairies and vandals can't get to it.
