HERITAGE TRAIN COMING THROUGH BRIGG TWICE TODAY

Brigg railway station is on the route being taken by a special railway excursion today (Saturday, January 23).
It is due to pass through Brigg at 12.50pm and then return at 3.34pm on its way back from Cleethorpes to Carnforth, in Lancashire.
It's rare to get an enthusiasts' special running along the Brigg Line.
This one is Diesel-hauled, though, and does not have a preserved steam loco pulling the rake of carriages.
West Coast Railway Company is organising the trip with the Branch Line Society.
For those of us who still don the old anorak, the train is classified 1Z23, and it left Carnforth at 7.20am.
We think the Diesels hauling the 'special' are a Class 37 and a Class 47, which will both date from the 1960s. But the motive power is, as yet, unconfirmed.
Both classes of loco could be seen in North Lincolnshire over many years.
Our thanks go to Paul Johnson, of the Friends of the Brigg & Lincoln Lines, for giving us a timely reminder about the train.
A good vantage point to watch, photograph or video will be the railway bridge over the Old River Ancholme, down Cadney Road.
Looking at the tonnage of the train, it's going to be a lengthy one and is listed to be top & tailed - which is railway jargon for having a loco at each end.
The train has been dubbed the Ermintrude, Dougal and Florence Tracker.
