    Seems an odd one, could have possibly been a private for the owners of WCR but with only an hour in York that seems odd. Route learner/refresher perhaps?

    1Z for the out and back to York implies passengers.
    Maybe a trial run for that set of CDL fitted Mk1's that have been hidden away at 10A;):):cool::D:eek:

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Am I right in thinking the return train time would be approx 2 1/2 hours by the RTT figures.
    That seems a bit quick.

    Not seen the Carnforth Scarborough leg. Outbound.

    I wish you hadn't posted that. :eek:

    I had a rather nice thick cut pork chop as the centre piece of my evening meal last night. :(
