Pathfinder, Provisional dates for the diary

[junglejames]

Some provisional dates which I expect a few people will be interested in.
Note, they are still down as provisional though, so dont hold anyone to account.

17th November- London to Scarborough, Deltic D9009
8th December- Severnside to Yorkshire, D1015 Western Champion
22nd December- Xmas modern traction tour, featuring classes 56, 60 and 66
12th January- Crewe to South Midlands freight lines, DRS 37s.

Judging by the DPS twitter post at the end of last week ( http://twitter.com/delticps ), presumably after the PF tour booklet was printed, the Deltic tour sounds like it isn't going ahead on November 17th.

Dunno when the PF booklet was printed. Something to bare in mind though. Take it all with a pinh of salt. I cant make the Deltic tour anyway. Hopefully can make the last 3 tours. Liking the sound of them.
Anyone any idea what they may mean by South Midlands freight lines?

They seem to do it every year. Last year I think it went around unusual lines around Crewe and Liverpool, using things like a 92 and a 60. They have yet to say where they are going this year.

Could be the Notts / Derbs colliery lines, High Marnham, Tuxford, Toton etc, but they're more East than anything, and have been done to death. I suppose it really depends on your definition of 'South Midlands' - I'd say places like Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire were South Midlands, however there isn't a plethora of freight lines down there!

Perhaps some MOD lines such as Kineton, Long Marston & Bicester?

Maybe visit to arounds North-East area of Boulby and North Blyth?

Wow! When did they move to the South Midlands?

I was wondering if the MOD lines could be what they are on about. Toton and that sort of area, i always saw as perhaps East Midlands. But hey, best wait until they confirm it i suppose.
