Darlington Bank top station:

Thanks Henry!

 

The ticket to ride ive had a Email confirming that tornado will run from Darlington westbound to liverpool via Rochdale miles platting downhill and return to Darlington via Blackburn and Burnley must be that bridge at castleton causing the gauging issue yet again for eastbound charters along the calder valley line i suspect.

 

Does anyone know who the crews were today?

 

That's a great vantage point on Beattock (Harthope) Steve, it really shows off the gradient.

 

Thanks Stuart, yes it’s a great shot but sadly getting very overgrown like most of the shots on Beattock .

 

Ive seen something about 60163 doing its 1st railtour to Hull 2021 in march on rail advent if so whats the name of the tour ive looked on the A1 S.L.T. site and couldent find it anyone know what the tour is called to hull if so and where it starts from and also tornado running from York to Harrogate in 2021 but no mention of it going via Leeds from Harrogate back to York where 6233 struck the bridge near Hornbeam park has anyone else on nat pres seen this on rail advent who could shed more light on 60163 2021 tours and also S.R.P.S. may be running some tours with 60163.

It was in their 2020 Convention Video Davo - you can watch it on YouTube at

The 2021 railtours are all mentioned at around the 28:00 minute mark but here's a screenshot for you. There is also a series of trips over the S&C with haulage being Tornado one way and Flying Scotsman the other.

 

Many thanks for the info bleeder i went on the ticket to ride it was a experience to do the manchester liverpool line my 1st time and back to wigan via prescot and st Helens another stretch of track ive never rode on behind steam and also from Blackburn via copy pit eastbound (my 1st time also) its always enjoyable travelling with the A1 S.L.T. they do some fantastic tours and more to come 4 2021 if were not beat by the covid 19 pandemic causing misery and lockdowns yet again for many people globally.
