Vintage Trains 2025

So cancelled beyond York?

 

So what happens to passengers booked from York?
I am booked from York and not had any contact from VT, if it is cancelled from York I hope any refund will include ticket price plus price of tickets to York to connect with it

 

I don't think the York idea is set in stone.
Can't really send out formal information when the situation on the ground is a bit dynamic.

 

Update from VT. Train will terminate at York, to allow passengers from the Midlands to make onward connections on the return and more importantly to keep VT staff within their working hours.
Refunds etc, will be sorted/discussed next week.

 

Taken from VT FB page:

 

Vintage may choose out of goodwill to refund your travel to York, but all you had purchased from them, and hence if you like they had a contract to supply, you was for travel from York to Newcastle and back.

 

yes to be fair I accept I will have to lose out on the fare I paid to York and return

 

Why not go to York anyway to photograph it, as you usually do. That way you dont loose out on your fare and you'll have time to get to the footbridge near the turntable to photograph it turning.
Just a suggestion.

under normal circumstances I would but arrived at York at 09:40 too chilly to hang around for another 2 hours especially when I am disabled so on my way home now

 

The initial post on here wasn't fully clear hence why a couple of other posters queried like me

The post on here was 0820

Their social media post was well after 9am

Email received at 0939 confirming cancelled north of York

 

If you have travel insurance that might cover some of the costs incurred that Vintage Trains aren’t responsible for.

 

Ok, sorry to hear that. I didn't realise your circumstances.

Back in 1984 my brother and I were booked on a special, behind 60009 from Yotk to Marylebone.
This triples to use the credit note issued by the SLOA for a trip behind Leander from Carnforth to Shrewsbury.

Living in Lancaster we drove across to Leeds and took the train to York , this was to ensure we could get a train from King's Cross to Leeds in the evening.
As this well before mobile phones we arrived at York only to find that the excursion was cancelled, due to 60009 failing overnight.
We got another credit note from SLOA but I don't recall even asking SLOA for a refund on travel costs to get to York

 

Not really worth it for £20

 

No problem Peter, it is what is it, just getting old!!

 

Running over a hundred minutes down, passing through Sherburn-in-Elmet. 37240 on the rear.

 

Clun Castle waits to leave Derby. Hopefully the passengers in the rear of the train were Class 37 Fans !

 

Anyone able to advise whether the 1 Nov diesel section planned to be 37240 or 47773 please .
Two potential bookings depending on which it is .
Thanks
