Any idea what this is?
KX-Scarborough tour, but cannot see it advertised

It's UK Railtours "The Yorkshire Coast Express"

Thanks Ryan - guessing Class 47/57 haulage here

UK Railtours don't use WCRC. It is a DB Schenker train, should be top and tail 66s, but I don't know their identities.

It should pass the earlier KX-York tour hauled by 'Bittern' at Babworth loop north of Retford - might see it round there later

One of them's 66084. Not sure what the other is. Not sure what the attraction of going to Scarborough behind a 66 of all things is though.

Thanks, saw it (just) passing the steam tour hauled by 'Bittern' north of Retford this morning.

The attractions were Skellow Jnc to Ashcroft Jnc (dropped from the earlier UKRT Humber Bosun due to delay), a route to Scarborough via Bridlington with loco haulage, freight curve around Hull and of course the non-platform road through Malton. Plus odd bits of ECML loops.

Ahh fair play - didn't realise it was taking in freight lines.
