Hi Sprinter Guy. HST's on Hope Valley ,when they ran diversion services from Man Picc to St Pancras but not in recent years.
I also suspect HST's have run Stockport/ Man Vic, when Man Picc. has been closed. That has certainly been done by Voyagers in the past. Somebody will be long...

The only good news about the storm in 1987 was it happened during the night across Southern England. Just imagine if this had occurred during the day time.

Further to my e-mail of the 3rd May the BLS Tour passed Kingmoor very slowly .
We noted 88005/6/7/8/9/10 outside. We assume 88001 and 4 inside. With 88002 and 88003 are at Gresty Lane. The two new 68's 26 and 27 were in plain view outside the depot.
Nothing on UK Site saying that it is not going ahead.
Anybody wanting to go past Kingmoor slowly should check out the Branch Line Society Tour this coming Sunday. Full details on their web site.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
