With the continuing run of hot dry weather, it seems that a ban on steam traction is almost inevitable, however we're not there yet. It seems that the Scarborough Spa Express and Fellsman will both run this week, with diesels tucked in behind for assistance, presumably to avoid the steam loco from having to try too hard an thereby reducing the chance of sparks - and resulting fires.
45699 Galatea is booked to take charge of the Fellsman this week, giving the newly restored loco it's first trip round the Settle & Carlisle line in almost 50 years.
