1100 Nottingham to Sheffield

[pjnathanail]

Just wondered if anyone knows what this train is?
It seems to do Nottingham to Sheffield via Derby, then a massive loop to do it all again?

If I remember rightly, it was a schedule for the Northern Belle charter, picking up at Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield, then wandering around the East Midlands whilst the passengers (customers?) eat and drink, and then depositing them back at Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield...

Sounds about right to me. The Northern Belle set was on a Norwich - Chester charter yesterday, which ties in nicely with this ECS movement from Ely this morning, and another one back to Crewe afterwards.

Yes I was there at Nottingham filming and picturing it. It was calling at Sheffield and Sheffield. I will upload pics tomorrow.

I've dealt with it when it's done a similar Derby - Leicester - Nottingham - Lincoln - Peterborough - Nottingham - Leicester - Derby or thereabouts trundle. Seems to be very popular.

Thanks for the responses, I thought it was a bit of a weird one.
Thanks for clearing that up.
It does sound like quite a nice charter to go on, presumably at quite a high cost.

Some pictures would be great, I was going to go down to Long Eaton to see it and also the XC diversions, but never got round to it in the end.
