I assume a lot who travelled to Whitby on the 9.20 would return on the mid-afternoon train. At least that had steam haulage but it doesn't seem to be prioritising customer expectations Jon

Yesterday the 9F worked the short set at 1055 and 1230 etc. The lunchtime Whitby departure was a 37 which swapped with the blue 37 at Grosmont. The train was well filled but the earlier internal working with the 9F wasn't at all. Surely the 9F...

Yes, that was the tightest year - 73082, 80151, 541, 65 all year; 263 for the beginning of the year and 6989 from June. I guess technically there was a period between March and June when only four steam locos were available. The position has...

I'm afraid that I no longer have access to the WTT and rosters so I can't answer that one. It seesm to be the favourite at the moment to put a diesel on the 09.20 ex Pickering. It's interesting that they seem to be managing with 6 coach trains...

The NYMR said that lack of steam operation due to fire risk was responsible for poor visitor numbers in the early season 2025. If steam is so important why is diesel substitution so accepted? I know it's early this year in terms of full line...
