    Hello all,

    Just to let you all know, our Vintage Train Event will be taking place this coming weekend.

    We will have Y7 No. 985 visiting and operating. Also in operation will be 1163 "Whitehead" and on Sunday and Monday 73129 will also be in operation.

    I have attached a copy of the timetable (in PDF format.)

    Many thanks

    Paul

    If you click the timetable in the first post, 1163 is sharing duties with 985 on the vintage train.

    I'd already done that but managed to miss 1163's diagram completely. Doh!

    West Shed will be open, but doubt any of their locomotives will be pulled out.

    Great to see the vintage train running at Butterley this weekend, especially with 985 working the train

    Just up the road in Leeds, the Middleton railway have their NER liveried version 1310 working for the bank holiday weekend too!
