May well negotiate with the wife for a pass out to spend a couple of days up there for that. Just hope it doesn’t go hot and dry again and result in a steam ban.

8 round trips on a red timetable, almost back to the good old days! For some reason I thought it might actually be used on normal services, such as on the 10.55 ex-Pickering to allow it to work the diner, and to alleviate some of the pressure on...

"Steam not guaranteed" is prominent on the Belle booking information, automatic refund provided of roughly £30 per passenger if the train ends up being diesel hauled. As steam isn't necessarily the essence of the Belle it's probably easier to...
