Cancelled at the request of the Train operator nothing more known than that . Regards Marcus

Caroline is booked back up on the 18th May , I believe carrying staff looking at passenger possibilities for the line , running as a Chesterfield - Chesterfield. Regards Marcus

I travelled back first class a couple of months ago from Bristol - Sheffield and during that time I got a couple of hot drinks ,sandwich , crisps. Yesterday I did both HST XC sets and neither had the ‘advertised catering ‘ on board so better to be prepared . Regards Marcus

Waiting…. Regards Marcus

I hear it’s 60015 and 66004 for tomorrow, subject to any last minute changes . Regards Marcus

Lack of time is I understand one of the reasons that the tour is only going as far as the NR boundary , it will be a quick turnaround. My mate from Knottingley is the driver for the Grimsby light rail section. Regards Marcus

The railtour won’t be the last thing up the branch , there may even be something before but the 2Z02 York - York which I believe is Caroline is paying a visit on the 3rd May . Regards Marcus

Class 1 Donny driver testing out the gauge for the railtour in April and some route refresh. Regards Marcus 1679556648 From the horses mouth via a good friend who’s a DB driver at Knottingley . The loco is working over the SYJ from Tuesday till Friday this week Donny - Worksop in connection...

It could be possibly be no more than someone using their end of year budget up and for no long term purpose other than making things look more presentable . I’ve covered 6J57 for over 10yrs with photographs of 20’s at Deepcar from the 90’s , although there have been up and downs in the volume...

Knottingley currently has 19 coaches on depot , probably just a temporary move space being the issue , the WRD is modifying wagons from Tees Yard - taking the wooden floors out - making them useable for a new slab contract from Scunthorpe reportedly starting around now. Regards Marcus

It passed me at Neepsend and given the time it took to return I’m guessing it made to Deepcar the NR boundary. Regards Marcus

This is the fourth week that the steel train hasn’t run , I’ve passed Aldwarke a few times recently and there was no sign of the BBA wagons though they maybe elsewhere. In the usual NR fashion as in previous years the branch has a visit from the RHTT tomorrow- Thursday - the 3J50 from York , due...

Not sure what happened last night and all the usual was quite Railcam , available TOPS ,possibly the same as last week but can’t rule out an obstruction. Tug 92 has just ran through Central as OJ57 , 10 BBA’s at Stocksbridge earlier . Regards Marcus

I’m not sure what days your referring to but on the 1st November someone in the DB planning department forgot that in the RHTT season 6J57 requires a 60 subsequently 66125 got stuck at Wardsend requiring the load to be tripped up to Stocksbridge in sections at the end of all this the light...

The returning empties last night was 16 BBA’s which suggests there is some movement . Nothing concrete on the future just rumours , looking at next week it may run Tues/ Weds again put paths are in for every night so it wouldn’t take much just to put in an STP. Think its probably right to say...

The 6J57 ran last night with approx 8 wagons and light engine return , paths in for later this week for another run . Not believed to be a restart of the service according to a DB contact but more a mopping up operation, probably worth keeping an eye on next week as well . Regards Marcus

From a DB source Liberty Steels were accepting no more orders after 1st October for rail traffic so believe last loaded working was Thursday ( 5 loaded BBA’s and 2 MTA’s ) ironically the only working that ran to time all week , last night was the last ( 5 BBA’s and 3 MTA’s ) . All wagons...

I’ve read on another forum whose contributors are generally not far off the mark that West Burton will be receiving 2 trains per day from Immingham , route thought to be SYJ but not confirmed. Hoping start up day will be in September, coincidentally the saloon is booked over the SYJ in...

66054 had earlier done the Hedon Rd - Masbrough, no sooner had it got to Aldwarke than it was off , passed me over an an hour early , well loaded 15 BBA’s no SPA’s . Regards Marcus

Look at RTT for Rotherham Central , from yesterday 6J57/58 has appeared to run until the timetable change in December strange this wasn’t in when the May changeover happened . Nothing happened yesterday, maybe just a red herring to keep our spirits up :). Regards Marcus
