Midland Railway - Butterley - Vintage Train Event - Y7 visiting!

Hello all,

Just to let you all know, our Vintage Train Event will be taking place this coming weekend.

We will have Y7 No. 985 visiting and operating. Also in operation will be 1163 "Whitehead" and on Sunday and Monday 73129 will also be in operation.

I have attached a copy of the timetable (in PDF format.)

Many thanks

Paul

 

I hope you have as much fun as we did on the EOR with her!

 

Looks like Monday could well see me heading to Derbyshire for this.

 

Forgot to ask earlier but what will Whitehead be up to?

 

If you click the timetable in the first post, 1163 is sharing duties with 985 on the vintage train.

I'd already done that but managed to miss 1163's diagram completely. Doh!

 

Timetable attached (with corrected dates!) No timetable changes.

 

Hi Paul,
Will the West Shed be open over the weekend and do you know if the engines will be pulled out for display please would like to get some static shots thanks.

 

West Shed will be open, but doubt any of their locomotives will be pulled out.

 

Great to see the vintage train running at Butterley this weekend, especially with 985 working the train

Just up the road in Leeds, the Middleton railway have their NER liveried version 1310 working for the bank holiday weekend too!
