S&C Loco Hauled Trains

[Simming]

There is talk this year that there will be a return of loco hauled trains on the S&C, to free up units for the Hull-Bridlington-Scaggy Route.

The Trains used should be, if the plan goes ahead, 31s from FM rail and Mark 2 Coaches, From Barrow Hill.

Should be good for thrash Going up Blea Moor

Looks like i will have to go up there this year then 8)

Is this Summer Saturdays only, or Mon-Sat? July and August or what?

I really hope this is true!

If this is true expect me and some chaps from the GCR going up there to have a good ride.

I deffently be out for this, 31s can be quite rateable sometimes.

Did you do it before Jamie? Oh no, corse not, you dont like 37s :roll:

 

[bunnahabhain]

I've done them, I did them York - Keighley.

I dont mind 37's, it's just that 45's are far better, especially "Tom's Peak"

 

[Coxster]

Loco hauled S&C services? I'd be up for that - hope it happens! I never got around to doing the T&T 37s.

I've done them, I did them York - Keighley.

It gets a lot better after Skipton

If this happens we will combine it with the North Country Rover meet, firstly we'll get the 31s up to Carlisle for the Cumbrian Coast, and secondly we'd have a day specifically to do the 31s there and back.

It's much more worthwhile doing it on a Rover.

Two Leeds-Carlisle returns cost as much as a North Country Rover 4 in 8!

I will defiantly be up for this if they happen.
