Does anyone know why the Waverly on 19 Aug & North Wales Steam Train on 26 Aug have been cancelled. ?
The Northern Lights 'Gas' Guzzler Railtour, Monday 27th August, be in doubt - or so rumour has it - a lack of bookings.
Anyway, I think the problem with Mr Hill's Northern Lights is that it's a looooooooong day. If you're doing the BLS's Derbyshire outing the 'day' of the tour I don't really think it's worthwhile doing both - you'd be exhausted by the time you reach Motherwell. I do think there's a limit to how long a tour can be - usually 16 hours is the most I can muster up the interest for, on a 7am start I usually have reached the point by 9pm or so where I begin to tire of the day. I think the 24hrs plus on 27 August is taking it well beyond the limit for many people - for a few I just think it'll turn out to be quite an expensive sleep!
