JohnDavid Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The Orient Express travels up to Chesterfield a few times a year, bringing people for a champagne day trip to Chatsworth. iirc, it's pulled by steam, with a diesel at the back in case it breaks down.

JohnDavid Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Ooh, just checked their website, it's not long to the next one. 17th April. It doesn't make exactly clear whether it's steam hauled, but I do know for a fact that the last time they came (about October / November), it was steam hauled. After dropping everyone off at Chesterfield (they then go to Chatsworth by coach), they took the steam engine up to Barrow Hill to fill up the water tanks. Whilst they were filling up, another diesel broke down on the mainline just below Barrrow Hill, so they couldn't get the steam train back down to Chesterfield. They managed it, just in the nick of time, but another ten minutes and the passengers would have been having a 5 course dinner on half a dozen coaches mwaaah!
