Steam Tours under the Wires

[Andrew Nelson]

Something has definitely hit something on harrogate line, hence why steam currently doesn't go that way (rarely anyway)

Now the Scarbrough Spar Express does 2 loops in the same direction, nice running from Wakefield Kirkgate up the hill to Westgate six times a week.

6024 had her safety valve bonnet knocked off leaving Paddington pre-electrification and i think a corner of 6233's firebox scraped a bridge on the Harrogate line a few years back.

There was a similar incident in the early 1980s involving S&D 2-8-0 53809 near Guide Bridge.
