    The ticket to ride ive had a Email confirming that tornado will run from Darlington westbound to liverpool via Rochdale miles platting downhill and return to Darlington via Blackburn and Burnley must be that bridge at castleton causing the gauging issue yet again for eastbound charters along the calder valley line i suspect.

    That's a great vantage point on Beattock (Harthope) Steve, it really shows off the gradient.

    It was in their 2020 Convention Video Davo - you can watch it on YouTube at

    The 2021 railtours are all mentioned at around the 28:00 minute mark but here's a screenshot for you. There is also a series of trips over the S&C with haulage being Tornado one way and Flying Scotsman the other.
