The Settle Carlisle Railway Development Company (SCRDC) are running a special charter charter train hauled by DRS Class 37s from Leeds to Carlisle and return on Friday 11 April 2014
This is the 25th anniversary of the reprieve of the line, which took place on 11 April 1989 and one of various events which the SCRDC are holding throughout the year.
The train is primarily intended for invited guests who were either involved with helping to save the line through the closure years in the 1980s, or have since been involved with the line in many ways since the reprieve. Well known characters like Ron Cotton and Michael Portillo who played a part, have been invited.
Part of the train is available for members of the public and tickets are now on sale.
The SCRDC would like to completely fill the train and at least cover costs.
Details are available at http://www.scrdc.co.uk or you can download the FLYER here.
Thanks to David Stopher and Lensmen for the information
