    "Steam not guaranteed" is prominent on the Belle booking information, automatic refund provided of roughly £30 per passenger if the train ends up being diesel hauled.
    As steam isn't necessarily the essence of the Belle it's probably easier to justify priority to an RTC job where it is more essential.

    According to RH it's diesel hauled as no steam available.

    It has been cancelled for some while, as I understand it due to an engineering blockade in the Wigan/Warrington area
