Annie Bynnol   612 #4 Posted April 2, 2015 There are rumours that trains operated by WCRC might be cancelled. Please check beforehand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Library   10 #5 Posted April 2, 2015 WCRC have been suspended by Network Rail for 8 weeks with effect from midnight tonight.  Network Rail statement - more details are given in the downloadable document at the bottom of the statement  ---------- Post added 03-04-2015 at 13:02 ----------  Latest from WCRC suggests that all tours are going ahead but with a different train operator, the important line being  "all trips remain unaffected and will run as normal under licence of another operator, using the same vintage Mk2 carriages, passengers will not be affected and all schedules including the Jacobite will continue as normal."  http://www.westcoastrailways.co.uk/download/Important.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

darylslinn   10 #7 Posted April 18, 2015 That aside, if anyone is interested in heritage diesels then a "Rarities" gala is taking place this weekend at Barrow Hill near Staveley (not exactly Sheffield, I know). Some great exhibits to see and ride behind, trade stall, good beer, cab rides and more besides. http://www.barrowhill.org/index.html  ---------- Post added 18-04-2015 at 19:56 ----------  If this is your kind of thing i've uploaded some photos taken today. http://darylslinn.weebly.com/barrow-hill-rarities-gala-18042015.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
