Surely a working that had the express lamps on the buffer beams?

The Tall Ships are arriving in Hartlepool next week. Last time in 2010 there were loads of extra trains running including loco hauled shuttles. This year? Nothing that I can see. Northern just providing a normal hourly service with 2 carriage units (ok a couple of 4 car on a Saturday) that will...
