Im assuming its for the Xmas Market in Lincoln. Goes up to Barnetby (i assume for a turnaround) then comes back to Lincoln and return. Can't see a special down on any of the usual websites tho'

All I can say is expect Lincoln being busy over the next few days because of the Christ mas Market. Shame that EMT didn't lend a HST to Northern so that they could run it on the Kiveton line.

Cheers folks. Any idea why its down as FRGT tho and not passenger?

FRGT is normal for excursions, specials and other jollies - i.e. not part of the normal TOC passenger services.

Any train not operated by any of the TOCs = freight!

Charters that operated by companies other than the West Coast Railway Company are shown as freight.
