Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

It's been a... v e r y... long time - 16 months - since Duchess of Sutherland passed through [link].
This time, assuming no problems beforehand, Flying Scotsman will haul an excursion to Cambridge/Norwich and return on Thu 17 June.
I'm estimating the precise time at Harringay - Steam Dreams, the tour operator, say it leaves King's Cross at 0755 [link].

Flying Scotsman's fame leads incautious spectators to cross strict railway boundaries and stand too close to the tracks which delays the train.
No-one will think of doing that here, will they?? Behind the yellow line thank you, DEFINITELY not down the platform ramps to track level.

And, cough, on all parts of railway stations people are required to wear masks unless exempt.
Platforms indeed are mostly in the open air but can become crowded - as indeed they may be with such a well-known engine as Flying Scotsman.


PS Before last August Bank Holiday a steam-hauled excursion got within a few hours of me posting it here, in those 'dine out to help out' days - it was pulled not because of Covid but because of last-minute Network Rail operating restrictions. Hopes dashed at the eleventh hour, eh - we've all had some of that.
