At the moment there are no booked movements through Sheffield as nearly all excursions are cancelled. There are regular steam services at Settle and Scarborough which may involve movements out of area There are some trains between Norwich and Chester with no time table. You will need use Realtime trains at Swinton, Meadowhall and Chesterfield(not Dore) daily to find these unadvertised and often last minute and often cancelled. Method. Location eg Swinton(South Yorkshire). When? Input All Day Service Type Enter Freight services Clear WTT and VAR leaving STP. Click SEARCH You will see a number of trains with the code ZZ. This list consists normally of freight trains going from yard to yard. Occasionally some of these yards will be steam train depots or the location of stabling points of excursions and popular routes eg Carnforth, Tyseley, Crewe, York, London various, Scarborough, Bury, Castleton, Norwich, Peterborough, Derby, Butterley Looking at the individual timetable will often show long stops for water. Beware, cancellation and time keeping issues are normal so will not appear, will be hours early or late Not all of these are steam trains. Not all are in steam-they might be a diesel pulling a steam train. Hi, Thanks for the information, it is very useful.

wearysmith 138 #50 Posted August 25, 2020 Talking of trains...anyone know if the 'Folk train' still runs out of Sheffield station to Edale? Went on a few a couple of years back. Had a great time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
