    I imagine a day of entrusting the service to 2999 and 65 would currently be a great way of reproducing a Sussex-based lineside Dantes Inferno, but that's a combination that would be wonderful to see later in the year.

    Absolutely understand the decision to cancel BoP. The main thing I'd been looking forward to was another chance for a Bluebell run with 2999, which I imagine doesn't have much time at the line left? I can see on the website loco roster that it's...

    I understand 2999 will remain until the early autumn. I would suggest that the loco roster is unlikely to be reliable for so far into the future. 2999 is one of the worst engines for lineside fires so won't be out anytime soon. It is currently...

    It’s currently rostered on services towards the end of August, but we’ll have to wait and see what the weather does. Hopefully it’ll be rostered on some services in the first half of next year too.

    65 is still in traffic and there is no imminent withdrawal date that I am aware of. Clearly something could cause it to be withdrawn early, but the current plan is that it continues into 2027 AFAIK. Tom

    A shame but entirely understandable. I hope to be able to get down and visit when the weather is kinder to allow steam to run again. On a related note, is it true that this would have been one of the last chances to see 65 in service? Or is she...

    I had a memorable run to Battersby one glorious spring evening firing to Fletch (the late John Fletcher) on Tornado. We only went from Grosmont, not Whitby, and as you say it was a short lived experiement but what a lovely evening turn it was - a...

    I have reason to believe that between Christmas and New Year timetable C will operate across the whole line from Sheffield Park to East Grinstead. Trains should run daily from the 27th to 31st. That means four round trips with two sets. It's a...
