The information on excursion and  magazines is always out of date.

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.

 

Kind regards,

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.
