    I should think most of we older members misinterpreted that. As generations change, language changes.

    "Nothing to be done.",
    "I'm beginning to come round to that opinion.".

    The Esk Valley one looks to be very similar to the Whitby Flyer trip from March. But this one appears to be mostly steam hauled, in contrast to the Whitby Flyer that had a big chunk electric hauled.

    Did 70013 that way, c2012. Started at KGX. Heavy delay around Peterborough as I recall, and reschedule of the return to give a bit more time in Scarborough. Think 45690 was the last to head that way, but the suggestion at the time was a weight restriction on a bridge. F so, hopefully it's now sorted.

    No timings as yet. As the avoiding line is closed every weekend, it will have to go via Barrow

    Given the way the trip has to work, it's a possibility but not ideal if you were hoping for steam on the main line.

    I was unclear from the description given up thread whether Tangmere was to lead both ways, tender first outward. Or whether it is to be on the rear of the train outward then lead it back.
    I suspect its moot as the fire protocols must surely have some impact come Saturday. Especially given the recent history of that loco on the coastal route ...
