Railtour Season

Will · Railtour Season

Just recently been checking all of the railtour timtables around me. Union of South Africa is coming through Huddersfield every friday this month but Vespa on the Big H pointed out that she was 'broken'. 55022 (?) is coming through Hudds a few time as well so i can get photos and videos from a few places. Not bothered about the UKRailtours as they only use EWS 67s. Altogether, there will be 60009, Class 37s, 47s, a Deltic and if I can be bothered to make it, I will see 67s.

I will try to get pictures and videos posted. The only thing is I cannot edit but I am going to ask about that in another section.

Pete has the details of all mainline steam tours in the Branch Lines section.

THE SCARBOROUGH FLYER [Times] [CANCELLED] 60009 (/46201):

Will

Well, word had spread around that Duke of Glouscester was pulling the Scarborough Flyer in stead of UoSA but I waited in my spot for a good 45 mins only to see nothing. The only good thing was a man who came up to me and said 'Are you here for the steam train?'. I said yes. I spent all the time talking to him about locos and he was telling me what it was like 40 years ago - very interesting. I am going next friday though to get a video of UoSA from the station and then the week after I will go to Marsden to see it there, and, the week after that, I will go somewhere else along the line.

Peter, I think the Deltic is called 'Royal Scots Grey'.
