weardale railtour Feb19th.

Post by woberty »

I have been looking at the Weardale Railway and the UK Railtours websites.
Therefore im wondering if anyone knows what traction is likely to be used on that day.
Pending on my work patterns i might try to sneek a few pictures in. Or another excuse to visit Shildon.

Finally does anyone know of the outcome of the proposal to move coal back on this line.
