    Because Andy is being a tight so-an-so and wont pay for the larger headboard; ''Nora Battys Crinkly Stockings Stopper''...So we will probably just run with our Cotton Mills Expr headboard!... \:D/

    considering this is a stub line, and Sheffield, wouldnt "The Blunt Knife" or "Thin end of the Wedge" be more appropriate headboards ?

    telephoned PTR on friday for details and they said they do not yet know the fares and are not accepting any bookings before February. Strange!

    They are just being cautious, and not taking your money before they know the true cost of the venture...never been gauged for steam, never been timed for steam.....patience is a vertue!

    We are getting nearer to this train running! The extract below has been taken today from the PTR website. I suggest those who wish to travel get in quick as I think this train will sell out fast.

    Featuring the stunning scenery as seen on 'Last of the Summer Wine' the highlight of this tour is a steam hauled run via Penistone on the Barnsley - Huddersfield line.We leave Manchester Victoria P/U(09:20)behind LMS 'Black 5' No 45407 & BR Standard Class 4 No 76079,climbing Miles Platting & then via Ashburys,Chinley,Edale to Sheffield (11:20/12:00)proceeding via Meadowhall,Barnsley,Penistone,Huddersfield,Rochdale,Manchester Victoria S/D(16:45).

    Ticket booked on line with a note to PTR to use the previously held deposit for the Cumbrian Fellsman which I had to cancel. 10 minutes later email reply received informing me that this had been done. Now that's how to run your bookings, =D> .
