That might be a little difficult as the S & C is currently closed due to a landslip at Eden Brouws, with planned reopening date of March 31st, 2017. Of course perhaps it might be a short working, but turning the locomotive would be a complication.

Gen I hav e is that "Tornado" will be working turns between Skipton -Appleby on Feb 14-16. As it coincides with the school half term no doubt these trains will be rammed
