There were two or three steam engines running on the Harrogate line during August 2007, as part of a rare summer season, taking tourists between Scarborough, Leeds, Harrogate and York. But sadly the Railway Touring Co. told me that the Harrogate section did not bring in enough profit for the operation to be repeated here in the near future.
However Duchess of Sutherland will be hauling a tourist trip between Leicester and York in March 2008 (see the Railway Touring Co. website). They did tell me they might put a steam train between York and Scarborough around August 2008, but it's not yet on their website.
What was she doing running special occasion??
