A DIFFERENT offering if you do not want to watch the 2022 FA Cup Final on May 14, is UK Railtours’‘Powerful Pieman Panorama’ tour.
Starting from Ealing Broadway, this train will call at St Albans City, Bedford and East Midlands Parkway before heading to Toton yard where a pilot loco will be attached.
Threading through Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire, the freight yards at Doncaster are the next destination before the train reverses to take the line towards Lincoln. Here the train will take the Pyewipe Jct-Boultham Jct avoiding line, heading over Newark’s flat crossing for a break in Nottingham.
The return back to west London will be achieved via the pork pie capital of Melton Mowbray and Harringworth viaduct.
