Pathfinder Tours
The Cumbrian Warrior

Train was redated to 2nd April 2005 due to Network Rail last minute refusal to operate the train, due to additional engineering work in the Preston area (not known about when the train was planned) resulting in no path being available to go through the Preston area in either direction.
