    Down south this is a pretty common occcurence, for the K&ESR the Santa season is a high earning potential in the past we've hired coaches from the Swanage, West Somerset and East Lancs probably others Ive forgotten. i think the Spa Valley hired coaches from West Coast for their Polar Express last year.

    Anecdotally I’ve heard Spa Valley are hiring a carriage from the Bluebell this winter.

    It is not simply the track that is the problem but the land that is subsiding. There's a question over who is responsible as Network Rail own the land at Grosmont. it is only leased by the NYMR.
