Unfortunately, ‘Hymek’ D7018‘s appearances at the Great Central Railway this weekend have had to be curtailed due to an unexpected shortage of train crew. The loco worked the first part of her planned diagram on Saturday 28th February but was then stood down, and we understand that the loco will not be able to run tomorrow Sunday 1st March for the same reason. We can confirm that the loco is fully serviceable.
We apologise for any disappointment that this might cause. We will provide more information regarding future workings for this loco as soon as we can.
