S


journeys in a train of carriages pulled by a "living, breathing" steam engine are growing in popularity as a leisure activity, several companies chartering steam locos for trips along Britain's most scenic lines. And it is not just among


those who remember the days of steam from their own youth, but also among a new young generation who share their fascination for steam. A steam loco has a certain magic, and indeed the "Harry Potter factor" is cited as one reason for a renewed interest in steam. As fans will know, young


TEAM enthusiasts have been enjoying visits to Ciitheroe by some classic


by Duncan Smith


Harry and his classmates travel to and from the school of witchcraft and wizardry aboard the steam-powered "Hogwarts Express" - an enthralling sight in the movies. This summer has seen a


succession of steam locos pass through Ciitheroe, all pictured here by local enthusiast Tony Goodbody. Among them were the ex-


LMS Loco No. 6201 "Princess Elizabeth", pulling the "Cumbrian Mountain Express" on its way to Liverpool. Just a few days later another ex-LMS


loco. No. 46115 "Scots Guardsman", headed "The Fellsman" service through Ciitheroe headed for the famous Settle-Carlisle line. The Fellsman was a weekly tourist attraction, running every Wednesday throughout the summer and stopping at Ciitheroe at 10 a.m. and 7-30 p.m., giving steam enthusuasts lots of opportunities. Various locos pulled the


Fellsman train of carriages, including the impressive ex- LMS loco No. 5690 "Leander” , also pictured here by Tony Goodbody on one of its visits to Ciitheroe. For more details of The


Fellsman trips call 0845 3102458 or visit: www.statesmanrail.com
