As mentioned a previous post, the NRM is running a unique event that will last over the weekends of the 17th/18th & 24th/25th September. The first weekend (17th & 18th) will see the first ever passenger service ran between York and Locomotion at Shildon. The Loco's that are earmarked for these twice daily shuttles are Class 47 'Prince William', 70015 'Oliver Cromwell' and 4472 'Flying Scotsman'.
All 3 Loco's will run up and down the ECML on both Saturday and Sundays. Prices are yet to be confirmed but I've managed to find out the timetable as of today:
Saturday 17th/24th Sept:
Outward: 47798 'Prince William' NRM York - Shildon Locomotion
Return: 70015 'Oliver Cromwell' Shildon Locomotion - NRM York
Outward: 4472 'Flying Scotsman' NRM York - Shildon Locomotion
Return: 47798 'Prince William' Shildon Locomotion - NRM York
Sunday 18th/25th Sept:
Outward: 47798 'Prince William NRM York - Shildon Locomotion

The second of the two weekends see's both museums hold a Steam Gala. Locomotion currently don't have a line up confirmed but the NRM York will hold a special LMS Event featuring the loco’s shown below.
A very exciting event indeed!
Until next time,
Craig
