    There are still seats left on all weeks of the 2012 Moorlander trains (in all classes) currently if anybody is at a loose end over the summer and fancies a "friendly" steam ride over the S&C and Shap. Whilst advance bookings are preferable we do take pay on the days, with the caveat of seating subject to on the day availability, although all Premier Dining on these trains should be pre-booked via the office. See www.compasstoursbyrail.co.uk

    The current schedule is for a locomotive off Carnforth each week but specific traction may vary.

    Mondays only 23rd July to 20th August

    I have been told that the loco for the first Moorlander, Monday 23rd is now to be 46233, unless of course events decree otherwise.
    I also understand that there is still space in both classes for pay on the day, unless there is a sudden surge of late bookings.
    Times as per the post above.

    It would seem that events have decreed, plans changed, etc etc. and now it's confirmed that unless there are any problems on Sunday, 60009 will haul the Moorlander on Monday 23rd.
