This tour was originally timetabled to depart Preston at 1045 hours on Sunday 25 September, arriving back at 2045 mid evening.
There's trackwork at Woodley so the times have changed as the train is diverting, with departure 25 minutes earlier at 1020 and arrival not back at Preston, Lancs until 2239 hours.
Good that Network Rail and RTC provide this amount of advance notice as I'm still in Australia. Impressive, and great as a result of history there are alternative routes, even if Dr Beeching would have liked to have closed more than he did.
Revised times are on the RTC website, with a stop at Buxton from 2006 to 2018 for passengers to stretch their legs. Pleasing to be doing a circular route but as this portion will be at night, somewhat academic.
More bang for one's buck (or should I say 'GBP'?) A long day, so hope it doesn't run overly late. There is a TSSA rail strike next day but (touch wood) not on 25/9.
If anyone's on the train I look forward to saying 'hi'.
