Dear moderator, the title of this merged thread includes "15th Jan"

Please can you delete this date as it will confuse.

The OP refers to a day in the past and not future events.

Hiya, Question to Scarborough via York - where does it start from ?

[Zarniwoop 10]

Manchester Piccadilly at 8am

Romily 08:40

Hathersage 09:40

Sheffield 10:05

Scarborough 14:05

 

Return times

Scarborough 16:05

Sheffield 19:10

Romily 20:05

Hathersage 21:20

Manchester Picc 22:15

 

However these times can and very often do vary once Network rail provide the actual path to the train company. You need to check

Or

 a few days before to get the exact timings.

Last mainline journey of Flying Scotsman.

Due to the incidents of trespass on the line between Derby and Birmingham many trains were cancelled or delayed by up to 90 minutes.

Tens of thousands of connections missed and tens of thousands of pounds+ to be paid by taxpayers in compensation to mainline passengers from Cornwall to Edinburgh, Sheffield to Southampton etc.

Flying Scotsman operators have repeatedly been told that costs incurred will be transferred to them by Network Rail.

The operators of Flying Scotsman have pleaded with enthusiasts not to trespass and websites no to publish times and routes.

 

Can we at least do this for Flying Scotsman journey for now, to prevent Network from allowing steam on mainline.
