Visiting Main Line steam locomotive update…
Peak Rail apologises that we have been informed by Network Rail that there is no route clearance available to allow Black Five “The Sherwood Forester” to come to Peak Rail for our Steam and Diesel Gala to be held on the 10th/11th August, 2019. Good News is that it has been booked for our Gala in 2020.
Update on D7659
We are very disappointed that despite huge efforts, D7659 will not be pulling any trains at the Mixed Traffic Gala on Satruday 10th and 11th August. However, D7659 will be on display on the turntable at Rowsley and the engine will be run up every hour.
Other special attractions on the day will be
- Class 37310 on display
- Drive a loco for a Tenner
- Real Ale tent all weekend
A special timetable and fares will apply to this event.
