Drive the UKRailtours ‘The Powerful Parkeston Panorama’ tour from Stevenage to Canonbury Reverse with Class 66 66748 and 66765.

In the morning of Saturday 27th May 2023, the tour starts from Stevenage running down the East Coast Mainline to Finsbury Park where it then heads to the North London Line and runs all the way to Stratford. It then runs up to Norwich via Bury St Edmunds and the Breckland Line stopping off at various freight loops along the route. It then goes down the GEML to Harwich to run on the rare Parkeston Carless Curve near Harwich, this being the first passenger train to run that bit of track in over 20 years. Then it returns back to Stevenage via the outward route.

You will be driving the outward journey from Stevenage as far as Canonbury Reverse picking up passengers at Stevenage, Potters Bar and Finsbury Park.
