Steam returns to the Wensleydale Railway
18 July - 9 August 2009 and 13 August - 31 August 2009
 Ex-British Rail Standard Class locomotive No 80105 will haul the first train of the day from Leeming Bar to Redmire and bring the last train back. During the day it will shuttle between Leyburn and Redmire and (in the other direction) between Leyburn and Burton Run-round Loop (no boarding or alighting there).
Diesel multiple units will provide a feeder service between Leeming Bar and Leyburn. Services are ‘turn up and go’ except for coach parties and groups of 11 or more who should pre-book tickets.
80105 is one of only 14 of its class to have been preserved. It was built at Brighton Works in 1955, rescued from Barry scrapyard in 1973 and eventually returned to service in 2000 at Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway.
