LMS Jubilee class 4-6-0 no 45690 Leander working 1Z74 The Buxton Spa Express from Preston to Buxton and back on Sat 25th February 2017.
The Buxton Spa Express started out from Preston behind 45690 Leander which was to work the train alone from Preston via Wigan North Western, Manchester Victoria and Denton to Heaton Norris where 76084 was added onto the front of the train. From there the tour double headed from the outskirts of Stockport to Buxton via Chinley and Chapel-en-le-Frith & on the return travelled via Sheffield, Brighouse & Copy Pit to Blackburn where 76084 was detached from the train. Leander then worked the tour alone back to Preston where she handed the train over to a class 47 diesel which would take the train to Manchester Victoria via Wigan NW.

48151 Powers past Hoghton hauling the WCRC Santa Special 03-12-2017
It's been some time since a Santa Special last ran on the main line. However, in December 2017, West Coast Railways ran 3 tours round the Lancashire Circle through Carnforth, Hellifield, Blackburn and Preston on 3 consecutive Sundays, specifically as a Santa Special and Christmas dining train. After a successful test run a couple of days earlier, 48151 took the reins of the first run with 13 coaches in tow and a class 47 on the rear to provide electric train heating.
When we reached North Yorkshire the weather was far better than they had said it would be only a couple of days previously, with the sun shining down on the nearby 3 peaks. The original planned shot was Kettlesbeck Bridge but such was the number of onlookers already there when we arrived that we just turned around and went to another bridge in Kettlesbeck around 1/2 a mile further on towards Settle Junction. With timings along the little north western always containing a lot of slack, it was unsurprising that the 8F came powering round the S bend in the distance around 5 minutes early, looking and sounding superb with the 47 on the rear just ticking over.
Rather than go where the masses would now be bound (in other words, Langho bank), we now headed for Chapel Lane bridge at Hoghton, arriving with plenty of time to spare and with the sun still shining. In hindsight now, this probably wasn't the best place to go as despite being a dead end the road was actually quite busy and all the locals turned out a few minutes before it came too. Again though, the 8F was making plenty of noise as it crested the summit of the brief 1 in 110 climb from the River Darwen viaduct with the 47 again providing minimal assistance on the rear.

The Cumbrian Ranger & The Buxton Spa Express 15-03-2014
This was one of those outings where the plans were changed several times on account of 2 factors: the weather and gradients on the Buxton Line.
The first part, to get a shot of 4464 heading the Cumbrian Ranger at Acton Bridge was the only part of the original plan that actually happened, as this was 'on the way' to the peak district. Arriving in plenty of time, we once again set up on platform 3 instead of the island due to a possible incursion from an intermodal heading south at the same time as Bittern would be heading north. This was unlikely to happen as there were at least 3 paths from Garston to Crewe in 45 minutes and only one would be used but we played it safe anyway. 4464 was due at 0940 and at 0932, the familiar exhaust trail appeared at Hartford in the distance and the A4 stormed through the station at 75mph running 4 minutes early. Funnily enough, if the tour had run to time then the previously mentioned intermodal would have blocked the view of everybody on the island platform.
The next part of the plan had been to head to Edale and finally get the desired shot from Hollins Cross, high above the valley however the high wind speed forecast saw that idea fall by the Wayside. Not knowing the area overly well, the challenge was to find a place where the wind wouldn't be a problem, and 3 possibilities were found. We headed for the most southerly of the 3 first, at Kingsterndale foot crossing on the former Midland Railway route to Buxton with an up hill gradient of 1 in 100. When we arrived, we liked the shot that much the other possibilities at Peak Forest and Chapel-en-le-Frith were discounted immediately so we walked up to the Hamlet of Kingsterndale and back before setting up with 1 hour remaining. Presently we were joined by a photographer from Horwich whom we had a long chat with about all things until the exhaust finally appeared in the distance right on time and 45231 & 44871 rounded the bend at the head of the Railway Touring Company's 'Buxton Spa Express' from Ealing Broadway complete with a nice whistle.
At Buxton a very unusual arrangement was in place. The Railway Touring Company had originally requested steam haulage on the return leg from Buxton to Stockport over the LNW route however Network Rail pathed the tour back the way it came over the Midland to Chinley and via Guide Bridge to Stockport which meant the Black 5's would come off the train at Buxton. 47580 came from Carnforth to haul the return leg however so it was on the correct end of the train the 5's had to haul the first part of the return leg into Buxton sidings before detaching and heading down the LNW route to Stockport anyway. This presented a great opportunity at New Mills where the main tour, diesel hauled could be running on one side of the Goyt valley while 44871 & 45231 were running in the same direction on the other side. 47580 could be seen in the distance from our viewpoint at New Mills Newtown diverging onto the Guide Bridge route at 1615; 3 minutes later the 5's rounded the bend from Furness Vale on the Buxton line and opened up from a 20mph temporary speed restriction. This is the second time in 2 weeks that a great opportunity for a double shot has been missed...

Whitby
Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Borough of Scarborough and English county of North Yorkshire. Prior to local government reorganisations in the late 1960s, it was part of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Caedmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port developed during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was (along with the nearby fishing village of Staithes) where Captain Cook learned seamanship.
