Lincoln Cristmas Market Specials
 

Apparently EMT are organisaing some specils between Leicester/Nottingham to Lincoln next week, so I am going to get myself on a few if they are definitely running as classic traction. Anyoe know what traction is likely on the services?

Northern are running classics too there called Class 142's 156's & 150'S !

I wonder which have a greater chance at breaking down? :D

I think it's the WCRC who are running them- at least there's a WCRC stock move through Preston for them.
If it is WCRC, I should think 47's, or very possibly, 57, 33, 37.

according to the link below it is 2 X 47 (WCRC) T & T

I am travelling on the 08:45 Leicester to Lincoln and 15:18 Lincoln to Nottingham this Saturday. Looking forward to travelling on some classic traction.

Any ideas on what it might be David?

well folks, it was a great day, we all really enjoyed it, even my daughter loved it(shes only 14months old), never really got a lot of chance to take pics of the loco tho which i was disappointed about.
the market its self was mayhem, really really busy but still enjoyable.
this was hte first long distance railtour i have been on and i would defo do it again.
Well done to SRPS railtours for a great job well done
i have some pics in my gallery

It ended up being class 47 front and back ends, and set of Mk2 coaches. I only went on the one in the morning. Couldn't make it throiugh to the afternoon as wet through :D

Went back on a ice route via Sheffield though. It was funny onboard an MML HST, the train manager started "this is the Midland Mai (pause) erm East Midland Mainline service to London St Pancras".
