Paul Worrall Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Thanks to Annie B. and others I can give the times for a second outing of 5699 Galetea as it returns to Carnforth from Burton on Monday 23 September. It is important to also check Realtimes on Monday morning, The marker stations I will use are Dronfield and Grindleford. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/DRO?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt This is the link for Dronfield (DRO?), to check other stations simply change the name in the location box and click 'submit'. Sorry about the spacing!

Paul Worrall Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hi, Members of Sheffield Forum have been very helpful when helping me to find the name and number of steam specials which have run through Dore and Totley Station in recent times. I now have another question; Which website(s) can I use to help me locate steam specials which are due to run through, Dore & Totley, Chesterfield and Sheffield? In the past I have used UKsteam info and Steam Railways. However since the lockdown and consequent general lack of steam specials in the Sheffield area I have no information as to what is due to come through. Realtime Trains is helpful when describing the routes and times of specials, however, to use this page it is necesary to know which day a train is running. Can anybody help me please? Kind regards, Wazzie Worrall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarniwoop Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Railway herald has a listing of all rail tours with loco information for both steam and diesel, you have to do some searching though as it only shows stopping points. It does have links to the tour operators websites which give more information. I can't get the link to work but if you google railwayherald and go to the railtours page that should find it.

Cheers, Wazzie The information on excursion and magazines is always out of date. At the moment there are no booked movements through Sheffield as nearly all excursions are cancelled. There are regular steam services at Settle and Scarborough which may involve movements out of area There are some trains between Norwich and Chester with no time table. You will need use Realtime trains at Swinton, Meadowhall and Chesterfield(not Dore) daily to find these unadvertised and often last minute and often cancelled. Method. Location eg Swinton(South Yorkshire). When? Input All Day Service Type Enter Freight services Clear WTT and VAR leaving STP. Click SEARCH You will see a number of trains with the code ZZ. This list consists normally of freight trains going from yard to yard. Occasionally some of these yards will be steam train depots or the location of stabling points of excursions and popular routes eg Carnforth, Tyseley, Crewe, York, London various, Scarborough, Bury, Castleton, Norwich, Peterborough, Derby, Butterley Looking at the individual timetable will often show long stops for water. Beware, cancellation and time keeping issues are normal so will not appear, will be hours early or late Not all of these are steam trains. Not all are in steam-they might be a diesel pulling a steam train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearysmith Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Talking of trains...anyone know if the 'Folk train' still runs out of Sheffield station to Edale? Went on a few a couple of years back. Had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
