HF Railtours is running a sell out tour today (Wednesday 14th April).  Here's what they say about the trip:

"Join us on this very special tour as we make railway history with new build steam locomotive, 60163 Tornado. We steam out of Crewe and head north picking up further passengers at Warrington Bank Quay, Wigan North Western and Preston. As we travel towards Lancaster, Tornado can stretch her legs and give the cars on the M6, parallel with us at this point, a run for their money. Crossing the River Lune at Lancaster, we race through the city and get our first view of the sea at Hest Bank. At Carnforth, we leave the West Coast Main Line and start our journey into a more sedate world. We cross the mighty River Kent by way of a wooden viaduct at Arnside, the vast expanse of Morecambe Bay is to our left as we pass the delightful Victorian resort of Grange-Over-Sands, possibly the only resort in England to boast the fact it does not have a public house! At Ulverston, we are on the Furness Peninsular as we travel towards Barrow-in-Furness, home of Vickers shipyards.

Continuing up the coast through Foxfield and Millom, we come to Ravenglass, home of the famous Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway (listen for a possible exchange of steam whistles here!). On leaving Drigg, we pass Seascale and travel alongside the Irish sea to St. Bees. We travel inland for a short while until we get to Whitehaven and, upon leaving the town, the old harbour appears on our left as we head along what is probably the most dramatic part of our journey. We steam past Parton and its lighthouse and on towards Harrington, where if it is a clear day the Isle of Man will be visible. On leaving the old steel town of Workington, we run alongside the sea again to Maryport, where to our left the Solway Firth and southern Scotland comes into view. We then travel inland through the market town of Wigton and the lush countryside of north Cumbria to finally arrive in the great Border City of Carlisle.

Upon departure homeward bound, Tornado is ready to do battle with the arduous gradients of the Settle and Carlisle line, which boasts nineteen major viaducts and thirteen tunnels. This masterpiece of Victorian engineering takes us from sea level at Carlisle, through the tranquil Eden Valley to the market town of Appleby, with its Norman Castle, through Kirkby Stephen and onto the summit of the line at Ais Gill, reaching 1169 feet above sea level. Tornado will show us what she is made of as the loco masters this harsh and brooding territory. From here southwards to Settle, it is a journey over the roof of England, as we race downhill towards Garsdale passing the Richmondshire county boundary on our left, through Rise Hill Tunnel andout in to Dentdale. Passing Dent station, the highest mainline station in England, note the remains of the old snow fences above the train on our left. Dent village is four miles down the valley to our right. Tornado, now in a more relaxed mood, whisks us through Blea Moor Tunnel, the longest on the line at 2629 yards long, and we emerge in to Ribblesdale and over the twenty four arch viaduct at Ribblehead. Coasting down through Settle, we head to Hellifield where we then take the old Lancashire and Yorkshire branch line to Blackburn via Clitheroe, yet more new territory for Tornado. Leaving Blackburn, we continue south and rejoin the West Coast Main Line just to the south of Preston, retracing our steps to Crewe and setting down passengers on our way, to end what we believe will be an excellent days touring with Tornado."
