How often does the Harrogate line get the likes of the NMT or the Class 950? We were treated last winter to DRS Class 37s in the winter on the RHTT, but since then, I've not noticed much interesting.

I see some engineering train in the sidings behind Woodlands at Horsforth every couple of years. That isn't an exact by the way, but it's pretty infrequent.

It isn’t the fastest line and doesn’t really link much up. There has been at least one loco hailed test train through in the past 12 months

Any travelling between Knaresborough and York usually travel quite late because the line is running close to capacity

One side of the track was relaid last weekend, and I’ve heard from a mate the NMR should be down every 4 weeks now. Don’t know for how long.

I went down for the RHTT on Sunday just gone, couple of sheds, but at least I got them doing the turn back so could see them on both sides.

Have you got a link? Can’t see one on RTT. Honestly, as long as it’s not a 153, that’s fine with me xD

I got the wrong day - it's Thursday:
