    Tornado : 'The Ribblehead Rambler: 29/06/24

    Despite my earlier scepticism, I am coming to the conclusion that it is feasible for VT to be the TOC for this tour. Not only are they providing...

    Tornado : 'The Ribblehead Rambler: 29/06/24

    The trip a few weeks ago (16th March?) was out and back via Shap. I think there have been some VT trips which joined the S&C at Hellifield, but...

    I was given to understand that VT were hiring in 37 403 pending repairs to their own Class 37. So maybe this is an option?
