    Southbound--the Vintage trip with Tornado in March this year.

    Northbound--- now you're talking. Any advance on Scots Guardsman on the Dalesman in September 23? An age ago.

    Just to echo the above comments.
    An excellent day out, interesting route, a loco on good form and the usual friendly service.
    All involved on the VT and A1 teams can be rightfully proud.

    The delays couldn't be helped but given the disruption across the network and the unfortunate incident at Darlington, a 35 min late arrival at New St was not at all bad by railtour standards!

    Hope the ill passenger is OK and hasn't ended up stranded too far from home,

    Looking forward to the next one.
