Love the pictures. Funny how all the best views are on the right hand side as you go North - like the North York Moors and even the best bits of Darlington station. (They used to have a facsimile of Locomotion No 1 on the platform in my young days.) It's a fabulous journey from the point of view of the scenery, and your posh seats and steam train look to be well worth the extra.
I do adore that view of Durham - the heartstopping moment when you come out of the cutting and see across the valley to the Peninsula gets me every time. And the High Level Bridge (Dave would have been focussed on the ruined keep of the New Castle at the far end) and the Tweed. So many great memories. Thanks for sharing.
