According to my Intercity stock book r/3 is on the Downpatrick and County Down railway in their museum at Downpatrick. Suggest checking on their website for open/ running days. Found it a friendly place to visit.

I was on that train. The staff dealing with the passengers were polite and helpful and kept us informedeven when we had to have an extra stop in Manchester Victoria for a medical emergency for nearly an hour. No, the trainn wasnt full by any means, ertainly not the standard of first class...

Have been informed by WestCoast Railways that Pendle Dalesmen is running with different route, Northwards over Shap to Carlisle and returning via Cumbrian Coast. As I've not done part of the Cumbrian coast line before maybe not so bad after all.:D Wife still not happy about the very early start...
