If only the powers that be would classify certain lines for regular steam operation and run some of the preserved loco's/rolling stock on them on a regular basis I am sure they would do a trade. Something like the Kyle of Localsh line is used in that manner.
Lines I am thinking of would be Newcastle - Carlisle. Settle & Carlisle. Newcastle - Teesside via the coast. The line to Glasgow via Stranraer. The Cumbrian coast line, etc.
I don't mean odd days here and there I mean a regular thing of say twice a week. I am sure it's not beyond someone to get such a thing going given that there's money to be made from travelling on steam hauled trains.;
I am sure Yorkie would love to see a regular thing to various points from York. Scarborough would be a case in point especially as the home of a good few steamers is there [York] as well.
Think of seeing and A4 or a Duchess or Mercahnt Navy travelling therough beautiful counteryside as in the past on a regular basis. They could even consider making a normal timetables train steam hauled. Then you younger men/girls could savour what it was really like in the days of regular steam haulage.
