    Fred, although Neils links work OK, those that you have identified do not work from your post?

    Ralph I copied the image references from Neil's original post and pasted them into my reply before identifying them; it seems that this may have affected the link as I get the same result using my reply but no problem using Neil's original posting.

    Thanks Guys, i have also noticed that if you use the quote facility to reply when web address's are involved they get cut off and do not work

    Any way hope you all had a good Christmas and have a Happy New Year

    Neil

    Neil, as far as I know they are planning to run a similar series of tours from Crewe and Liverpool during the summer. From what I heard the Flyers are fairly definite as apart from the first few they were always pretty full. It would also seem logical to do the Cumbrian Mountains and North Wales Coasts as well. I don't know if the Blaenau ones are running though, there is always the problem of loading on that run, the train needs double heading to ensure that a reasonably sized train could do the climb.

    Ralph.
