Steam and diesel shuttle weekends

[nationalrailwaymuseum]

17 – 18 and 24 – 25 September

A unique opportunity to travel between the National Railway Museum in York and Locomotion in Shildon, via atmospheric steam and diesel shuttles linking both sites.
The shuttles will run over two weekends, and be pulled by a selection of locomotives: Royal Class 47 Prince William, No. 70013 Oliver Cromwell and either No. 30777 Sir Lamiel, No.5972 Olton Hall or No. 4472 Flying Scotsman.
Take in the sights, sounds and smells of operating steam and diesel engines, and sit back and relax as we transport you along the North East line to your destination. Stops along the way include Northallerton, and Darlington North Road – where you can enjoy free admission to the Head of Steam Museum on both weekends.

"I see 4472 is mentioned.

There ain't no such thing as a "cert" with main line steam nowadays, every operator has a get out clause in the small print. Even if 4472 is ready in time it can still fail on the day.
