Hi all, any news/photos of this diesel special which was on Sunday just gone from Lichfield to Buxton? What train was it? Well filled?


Looks to have been a very late departure!

Buxton Spa Express - 37608 and 57312 top and tailing a set of Mark 3 carriages with 37884.

and many others.

57312 failed before running with the empty coaches from Castle Donington and had to wait for 37608 to rescue it.

Thanks for this! What was the reason for the delay?

Sorry just seen the extra bit! Thanks - was it well filled?

Organiser said around 350 tickets were sold but many didn’t partake in the trip due the late running. All participants have been offered a full refund even if they did travel.
