You could have 6 with a 33 (Cannot believe I suggested that) but it has happened at steam gala before. If it was a 33 needs to be Jenny Lewis as it has the "correct paint scheme" (and certainly not the 20).

Would give Avanti a run for the money in terms of a delay. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-pt:3264/2026-07-29/detailed All caused of course as the DMU spent all night in P2.

Even a week of light rain showers (as per the BBC forecast) I suspect will make zero difference in the overall situation.

I guess you can try to work out if there are paths at a time you think is suitable from looking at RTT. But it will come down to resources. I have no idea how many boxes you would need to keep open. Is the diner volunteer crewed or paid staff?...

Gladiator 5076 liked Musket The Dog's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I think the counter to that point is that at this event, this isn't a crowd necessaraily going for a day out in Whitby. They are there for the goth weekend, which happens to be in Whitby. In a similar vein to the argument about the CVR and the...

I never got that email despite being on their list. So a diesel tour (with 47's) which will appeal to few of the diesel brigade, and only 3 hours in Whitby, which seems short if you want to spend much time at the goth event. I guess something new...

The RTC trip is October 9 the goth weekend at the end of the month. The RTC tour info also states "There will be just over an hour to explore Whitby at leisure. Famed for its maritime heritage and as the home of Captain James Cook, Whitby offers...

The other question is would your regular target market even consider visiting Whitby on that weekend. Good luck to those that like it, but it looks like a weekend to be avoided with large crowds.

They seem to have their own park and ride, so unless someone really wanted a train ride would they not just park there? £50 each certainly adds to the cost of attending. The Whitby P&R seems to run at 30 minutes intervals through to 18:30 so...

I would agree the communication on the website could be better, but you can only run what is serviceable. Many lines have lots of locos, but not many have a pool of serviceable ones these days, and the NYMR needs more than most it seems, before...
