    It looks like a nice day out from York but a marathon from Kings Cross even with Les Ross out of London. Half an hour earlier than provisional times leaving KGX and 45 minutes later arriving back. Screws up the day for anyone down south not living in the metropolis but, hey, that's what our crowded network does to charters.

    So the return timings from Morpeth seem to suggest there is no water stop for the three-hour run. Don't tell me that this is not steam or that the diesel hauls us back.

    No doubt all will be revealed when the tickets are issued.
