    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.

    Not if MK1s return (CDL fitted included) or they use one of the 6(?) generator vehicles they have. Or indeed how they are running the Jacobite….

    CDL is not the issue - if it was how come the Jacobite is operating diesel free on most days? The issue is train heat and air conditioning. If the set needs an eth (electric train heat) supply then a suitably fitted diesel loco is needed in the consist.

    Technically 4 - 6310, 6312, 17105, 35469, but the latter hasn't been used since it arrived from Riviera.
