Galloway Fifties Railtour

[codek]

hi, been eyeing up this tour:

The Galloway Fifties - Pathfinder Railtours

Travel behind English Electric Class 50s to Stranraer. Joining Stations: Tame Bridge Parkway, Birmingham New Street, Stafford, Crewe, Warrington Bank Quay, Wigan North Western, Preston & Carlisle

Seems like a true marathon of a day. I guess it's been ran before, anyone been on it?

Anything to look out for on such a long "day" tour?

I'm very tempted - loco hauled to Stranraer doesn't happen very often.

Just take a good mask, definitely not one for me

Well it's in 2021. Maybe Putin's Pandemic Potion ® will be a success and everything is back to normal by then

Amen to that.

Just take plenty of cash and provisions. It doesn't have much opportunity for stocking-up off the train.

On a long tour I usually think first class is worth the extra money.

Pathfinder are a good operator and 50's are good fun.
