Runningman Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Jubilee ' Galatea ' looked well coming through Dore Station this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmy117 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I just wish they would make their minds up on what it is. 45627 on the smokebox and nameplates for "Sierra Loene", 45562 on the cab sides (Alberta) and it is really 46599 (Galatea). Another charter through Totley Tunnel next Saturday, but not steam, a couple of class 37's Nigel L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Worrall Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Hi Lemmy and Everybody Esle. I've never understand why charter companies change the name of locomotives. The Jubilee which came through on Sunday was actually Galatea but it was changed to be called Sierra Loene. About x3yr ago the A4 Bittern was changed to Dominion of New Zealand??? Wazzie Worrall.

Advertising, promotion, film work, owners choice, commemorating a historical event, fashion etc. It has always happened. Explanations: Galatea Bittern (includes a photo in Sheffield and one on the Sheffield designed and built Forth Bridge.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmy117 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Agreed, but usually everything is changed to one match one particular loco, no all three at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Worrall Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 The White Rose - Wednesday 6 April. According to Railway Herald, a Steam Special is running from Bridgenorth to York on Wednesday 6.4.22. However, there is some confusion over the route. Railway Herald says that the train will be running through Dore & Totley to Sheffield and onto York. However, Realtime Trains says that the train will leave the mainline at Chesterfield and go up the 'back line' to York via Barrowhill. Is the train actually coming through Dore & Totley Station? In addition, 'The Hadrian Hoovers' which was due to run through Chesterfield and Sheffield on Saturday 2.4.22 has been postponed until Saturday 23.7.22.

Lemmy117 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 The tour operator still shows it as running through Sheffield, but I would suspect a revised route has been agreed, as looking at Realtime there is a booked half hour stop at Barrow Hill, which usually indicates a stop to take on water.

Paul Worrall Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Hi Nigel, Thanks for the message. I'm not convinced that the train will come through Dore &Totley and then Sheffield. If it takes on Water at Barrow Hill it will take the 'back line' to Rotherham. Cheers, Wazzie Worrall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
