ACORP event at Darlington - Special Trains

[theblackwatch]

Received a mailing from Hertfordshire Rail Tours today. As part of Darlington Community Rail Festival on Sept 23rd/24th, HRT are running some shuttles from Darlington to Boulby. There are 2 trips on the Sunday (1st dep 10.00/back 14.00, 2nd dep 14.15/back 18.15 - all times approx), with no specific types of loco promised, though they will no doubt be from the FM fleet. Fare is a reasonable £15 adult, £10 junior.
There is also one trip on the Saturday (12.45 out/16.45 back), though that trip is mainly reserved for people travelling on the Blue Pullman charter from KX that day, though it says a few places may be available for local bookings.

I'm up for this!

The price is a lot more than last year, but it was ridiculously cheap last year so we can't complain too much!

What will be at the 'festival'?

Heard a rumour that there may be an unspecified 56 available for the weekend

Bookings for GNER open any day now!!!

This meet can be done very cheaply, even from London with those £9.50 GNER tickets, but be warned - the cheapest tickets sell out on the most popular trains on the day they go on sale.

Fill in this form: http://fs3.emv2.com/uk/gner/join/webform.html to be notified when they go on sale.

This is likely to be a very big forum meet... !
