Can you provide the gen for this tour for Alex McGlasham: Am after gen for a railtour that left Newcastle and went to Largs. I believe that it was a Newcastle area Merrymaker and run either spring/summer 1979 or 1980.
Richard Sz suggests: On July 27th 1978 there was a Newcastle (depart 0802) to Largs and back (depart 1757) hauled throughout by 40057, out via Troon station, return via Troon avoiding, otherwise both ways via Hexham, Carlisle, Dumfries, Mauchline, Annbank and Byrehill Junction to Dubbs Junction. If this was the right date, Alex will remember that it started raining as we arrived, and did not start to let up until we were about to depart on the return. |
