Hello, I was wondering if there have "recently" been any rail-tours that went down the Grassington branch? (By recently I mean in the past decade or so, otherwise this thread would belong in History & Nostalgia), and does anyone know if it's likely there will be any in future?

I did a little tour up there about ten years ago.

It was a mini-tour from York (some others from the forum were also on it).

Near where the 3 ridings meet
Spent a lot of time up there on track renewals in the early mid 90's.
Just about relaid the entire branch from Skipton station up to the quarry boundary under the last bridge.

BLS ran a couple of tours that way 'The Rylstone Cowboy' in 2016:

I was sure they ran another tour in the 202Xs that direction but can't find anything on the Six bells website, it might have been a victim of Covid lockdowns.
