Skipton to Carlisle trains set to run this Summer.
"With the recent announcement of plans to run Skipton to Carlisle trains over the Summer, we thought we would have a chat with Rail Charter Services Director, Adrian Quine, to find out more.
New rolling stock and an expanded route will feature for 2021, with a 2+5 HST operating trains from Skipton to Carlisle. Adrian says that the Power cars are Ex-East Midlands Trains Class 43s No. 43058 and 43059. A new livery has also been announced, with the work to add the new livery to both the Mark 3s and 43058/059 taking place at Eastleigh Works." https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2021/03...ummer.html/amp

Thanks Philip.
It makes me happy to see the HSTs being used. One of BR's more successful projects.  John

As I have family connections with West Yorkshire I might try and get a ride on this.
Do you (BW) have a British Columbia connection ? (re Snootli Creek)
