Re: Scarborough Flyer July/August

I shall be booking a family day out on this one next week as I missed out last year. A good pool of locos with Lizzy, the Duchess and No9 and a decent length of time at a family freindly destination to boot.

Re: Scarborough Flyer July/August

I shall be booking too, good day out, and from Huddersfield a reasonable price. This should help fill the train with joe public as much as enthusiasts. I travelled on it last year with 60009 when it was running well and not on the day it sadly was failed with air brake problems.

Re: Scarborough Flyer July/August

That is going to take a bit of thinking about. You can only take so much Scarborough

We had a good routine last year - car at Ashton - over to the Head of Steam for tea - steam back to the water stop at Ashton, bail out and give stewards a lift to Stalybridge for their lift home - job done.

Looks like a Stockport to Stockport now - with half an hour at Denton for water, unless we can find a way of leaving a car at Denton and getting to Huddersfield.

I'm booked on 31st trip from Huddersfield. Looking forward to a run behind the Duchess.
Last year was a good day out on the Scarborough Flyer and reasonable price.
Brian

 

The new 6201 LA website (see 6201 thread in Steam Traction) confirms 7/8 and 21/8 as Lizzie's turns on this itinerary.

 

May book on the 21st August one then Been wanting to travel behind Lizzie for a while now, and will fit in nicely with the 18th birthday plans

 

August 28th now confirmed as 60009

Neil

 

Any confirmed times yet for the Scarborough Flyer?

Neil

 

No times or tickets through yet from RTC. Will be on steam info before I get them I guess.
Brian

 

Denton water stops - not so convenient for doing a part itinerary as last year when I could leave the car at Ashton, have my tea at the Head of Steam, and come back with cinders in me hair.

I'll have to see if they do a two hour limit on car parking at Sainsburys.

 

Glad to see we have the best engine on the one we are doing,you can guess which

 

........i didnt know 45407 had been rostered for the "Flyers"......... \/ \/ \/

 

I have merged two threads again so it may seem as though this thread seems a bit disjointed...

Neil.

 

I wonder how bookings are going, as concerns were expressed on the Fellsman thread (not by me) about the effect of missing out Manchester this year.

 

60009 is booked for Friday 28th August

 

According to Railway Herald page 14, July 31st with 6233 is virtually sold out, all we need now are confirmed times

Neil

 

Which one are you going on?
