    Not seen this announced anywhere but Strathspey's resident Ivatt 46512 will be heading up Speyside for a few days on the KDR to celebrate the 150th of the opening of the Keith - Dufftown line. More info here: Keith & Dufftown Railway - scenic rail journey in North East Scotland

    Would have loved to have seen this, but alas a major personal event and the bank dictates no more trips up north for me this year. I do hope this is the start of something more regular steam related for this line as the combination of steep gradients and stunning scenery is surely a winning formula!!

    The site hints at further possible steam visits. Could be the beginning of something good.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    I'm coming up to this from London. Anyone else in the South East contemplating the long trip up might want to consider doing what I did and using the excellent Superbreak.com - £76 return to Aberdeen from London with East Coast, including two nights in the Aberdeen Central Travelodge. Not bad! There are similar fare & hotel offers to and from Inverness.
