    Nothing scheduled on UKsteaminfo but a very trustworthy source reports a Pullman set over the viaduct at 09.00 with a DRS 47 on the back - any ideas???

    A DRS Class 47 on the rear would suggest it is the Northern Belle, as they have the contract to run it.

    Two 47s went over at 9am with a charter from Manchester to Kensington Olympia. No listing of any steam locomotives involved.
