    Short notice, I know, but this major event runs from tomorrow.

    Whitby is taking part in the event for the first time this year, and there will be a Grosmont to Whitby service each day of the event.

    There will also be up to 7 locos in steam, including visitor 7822 and hopefully 44767 and 49395 making what will be their last appearances in traffic before leaving the line for 2011.

    Full details at : http://www.nymr.co.uk/special-events/the-railway-at-war/ - timetable link towards the bottom of the details.

    Amongst features at Levisham will be a replica V1 - but sadly not a Gresley 2-6-2T, rather the dreaded "Doodlebug": http://www.nymr.co.uk/2011/10/world...omb-at-levisham-station-over-the-war-weekend/

    On the Sunday, there will be two additional services between Grosmont and Whitby, as well as one Whitby to Battersby return, all using The Moorlander set with limited non-doning seating (over 150 seats). This is the last Battersby steam run of 2011.

    The trains will leave run:

    Grosmont: 11:40 (connect off 10:30 ex Pickering) arrive Whitby: 12:00

    Whitby: 12:30, call Grosmont: 12:50 (connect off 11:30 ex Pickering) arrive Battersby: 13:50

    Battersby: 14:15 call Grosmont 15:15 arrive Whitby 15:35

    Whitby: 16:05 arrive Grosmont: 16:25 (Connect to 16:45 to Pickering)
