Don't believe there's any news on a resurrection of the service, however Railways Ilustrated are touting a RUMOUR that DRS are going to use 37's over the S&C in lieu of certain Northern services. Now that would be good for passenger numbers!

Thanks for this - I'm in contact with Booths as we speak seeing what they've got and how much it'll cost. I'll update as and when I know.

Whats the chance of a scrapman selling you the cabside number cut off a loco destined for the cutters torch?

No problems with any of this. Don't fill in the back section though as the ticket office will do that. So long as the vouchers are still valid then that's all we're bothered about.
