Should have done, and gone to Carlisle via Tyne Valley apparently. The Deltic is running Carlisle-Leeds White Hall Curve-London Kings Cross on Sunday if you want to see it.

Through Doncaster today, apologies that it’s a Youtube Short rather than proper video, but that will come later:

Rotherham does quite well for aspirational schemes: Tram-Train and the upcoming new station. Skipton does well too, having a frequent service with good capacity and London trains. The Harrogate line services have also been improved a lot. However, despite what people like to believe, isn’t...

It’s a multi-day tour, I think he means what will turn up on the other legs.

That sounds promising, thank you.

Sorry, just realised it’s running tomorrow morning not today: 5Z45 0155 Crewe H.S. to London Kings Cross

Can anyone confirm which diesel is moving over from Crewe for tomorrow’s tour please? Headcode suggests a 55 or a 45, but which?

Please can you explain how Grand Union Trains are not a (speculative) open access operator?

I don’t see many end to end passengers. It would however provide much needed additional capacity on the XC core. I think there’s too much overlap with XC and LNER services/routes for it to pass the abstractive test though. It might not come to fruition, but it might spur someone into doing...

Decorated samples of the 175 and 180 were at the new version of Warley at the NEC. You can see them in Sam’s trains latest video.

Leeds station will never be finished, it feels like construction is the only constant!

Is it the Deltic doing London Kings Cross-York on Thursday or could the 89 appear?

That makes a lot of sense and might help keep costs sensible compared to bringing it from Great Yarmouth every time. It seems that although there is a lot of change in the sector, there are a few green shoots coming through.

Interesting to see they are using a ROMIC HST. Also good to see a few tours starting in Derby. The one that jumps out at me is the 20’s pulling a HST to Whitby. Hopefully that has a Yorkshire pick-up stop.

It’s an interesting idea, but I think it would be hard to cover all three railways in one day. The MRC is able to hold pretty successful galas on its own because of the better mainline connection, so would probably just pull people away from the other two railways.

I still think the most sensible thing would be to allow travel between Duffield-Matlock on EMR and bin off the bus shuttles. Bus enthusiasts may disagree however.

The Twin Peaks diesel gala in conjunction with Peak Rail has been confirmed to be returning next year on 10th and 11th of April 2026.

Thank you for the improved amount of advance information.

I’ve reduced my discretionary long-distance travel with LNER. I use them more for short journeys within Yorkshire, but these flows don’t have mandatory silly tickets. An additional factor that puts me off LNER travel is how uncomfortable the Azumas are for long journeys and the short-forming of...

That’s quite common, but those moves are usually on RTT, whereas this one wasn’t.
