[KaTzaNdSTuFf]

[yorksteam]

Erm.....

[Gauge1channel]

They wont use them for mainline but they will use them for steam days and showing the engien of

[taxidude]

Oh, steam runs on the mainline are becoming more and more popular as the preservation societies have put a lot of time and effort into restoring these fine ladies to mainline standard along with the rolling stock. It's a great day out with a carnival atmosphere. It changes people...they talk and wave as the train goes by. It seems to be in the blood of the Brits!

@KaTzaNdSTuFf

Not for work, but for FUN!!! It's what we British love to do, as such things satisfy ALL the senses. Long may it continue!

[Yownanymous]

This beast hauled my train to Pickering on the NYMR - She was loud!

[LeamingtonSteve]

[yorksteam]

Loks like the York I know, I live here!

[LeamingtonSteve]

OK I remember York as having a large trainshed roof

[glastonrail88]

Which is on the other side to the platform No.7's in.

[glastonrail88]

Sorry - my fault - didnt watch it all te wa through before replying.

As No.7 leves, the camera zooms out to sow an HST arriving on the adjacent platform, and a First TPE 185 on the next platform over from that (platform 9 if i remember correcty). The trainshed can just be seen on the left of the 185.
