North York Moors Diesel Gala 14-16 September

I don't see a thread for this yet. I believe that there will be runs up to Battersby on the 'main' line towards Middlesbrough; not sure which of the visiting or home diesels will be certified for this. Are these runs included in the gala ticket or are they an add on? Any info gratefully received as I hope to attend after dropping my son at university!

 

I think the Whitby turns will be shared by 47798 Prince William and 55022 Royal Scots Grey - non of the other visitors are mian line certified. You can purchase either a Grosmont-Pickering or Whitby-Pickering rover ticket (no mention of Battersby). Full details are here including a link to buy tickets Diesel Gala | North Yorkshire Moors Railway :: A steam train adventure through the stunning Yorkshire Moors

 

A Deltic over almost all the Whitby branch looks exciting - having missed the opportunity in early July to travel Whitby - Pickering behind one. Thanks for info.

 

PS - tickets covering the trips to Battersby can be bought on line through the link supplied by eddief but only for Sunday - presumably this is the only day with no 'ordinary' trains on the line.

 

D7628, 31128, 47798 & 55022 will all be in action on the Esk Valley line over the three days, with 47798 & 55022 going to Battersby on the Sunday.

We regret that we are not going to be able to run the popular shunter shuttles this year, as 08850 is awaiting maintenance at Grosmont and is unlikely to be ready in time.
