    Be a cracking day on the 28th of March now as the Wensleydale tour out of 10A early doors will be followed by an A4 on Shap . What’s not to like :)

    Sorry to disappoint you Steve. Steam for Wensleydale only runs from York to Redmire and back

    No problem, but again that is not what RTC say:


    After servicing our steam locomotives, we will return along the Wensleydale line back to Northallerton, were we will rejoin the East Coast Main Line for the run southwards back to York. We continue with our steam locomotives for the full return journey to Carnforth, setting down at our earlier pick up points.


    Do you know differently?

    Nice big advert in this mornings local paper The Westmorland Gazette , The Wensleydale Railway begins with two Steam Locomotives running double headed out of Carnforth then top an tailing at York for Wensleydale, no mention of the return working.

    Well, it isn't - it's steam throughout.

    Not very relevant for the WCME thread... might be worth posting in/starting a thread for it?

    As the holding company for the Weardale Railway has been declared bankrupt, will this tour run?

    Cheers, Neil

    I've always been dubious of a southerners grasp of northern geography ! :eek:

    Wensleydale -- Northallerton to Redmire
    Weardale -- Bishop Auckland to Stanhope
