Trains which run from mainlines onto heritage lines/limited routes

[DelW]

I really enjoy travelling on charters that head down freight-only lines, especially the obscure and/or rarely used ones. One I particularly remember went over the Ogmore Vale Extension line from Margam to Tondu, much of it at 5 - 10mph and accompanied by the noise of tree branches scraping down the sides of the coaches. Goodness knows what it looked like from the cab.

A Virgin Pendolino ran up the Weardale Railway only to be attacked by about 20 Apaches (in a 2006 TV ad).

Believe that the Advertising Standards Authority received a number of complaints about this one.

I see that N.R.are planning on running a Taunton to Bishops Lydyard service on the West somerset railway via Norton Fitzwarren, not sure though if with N.R. D.M.U. 150,s or 155,s or if the west Somerset railway could do like at Whitby but with a Diesel loco or their own D.M.U. I've seen the article on national preservation Heritage railway news.

The Voyager actually came in by road because at that time the line had not been reopened from Wolsingham to Network Rail at Bishop Auckland
