Blackburnrod 13 #13 Posted September 15, 2021 When I was a Trainspotter in the 1950s Dore South Loop was known as Totley Cutting where we used to hope to see Beyer Garrets or ex LNWR 0-8-0s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
peak4 210 #14 Posted September 18, 2021 From the company website; "We travel through the East Midlands towards Sheffield and at Dore Junction we turn onto the beautiful Hope Valley for a journey through the stunningly beautiful Peak District National Park offering amazing views of Mam Tor and the surrounding moors, at Chinley we join the freight only line through Peak Forest as our engine works hard up the steep gradients to Buxton for an afternoon break of around three hours. The return journey takes a different route as we traverse the line through Dove Holes and Whaley Bridge to Stockport where we pass around the suburbs of Manchester before joining the Hope Valley line and retracing the outward journey through the Peak District." If anyone finds the timings, particularly for the Buxton end, please post them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Paul Worrall 4 #20 Posted September 30, 2021 Despite getting wet and the outward journey being half an hour late, it was wonderful to see 46100 - Royal Scot! The next Steam Special I've got listed is the Tin Bath which is due through Dore and Totley on 24 October. Has anybody got information about any other specials please?

peak4 210 #21 Posted September 30, 2021 If it's of interest to anyone, I braved the Buxton weather and nipped up the hill to Totley Pike layby to catch a view as the train left Great Rocks Dale. I failed to catch it on any of the visits to Buxton station, but did manage some photos at Buxton sidings. There are pics on My Flickr Account (work backwards from this link), or on a Facebook album Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
