Steam locomotive pulling a passenger train on the Wensleydale Railway
The Wensleydale Railway is an authentic heritage railway serving the local community, offering tourists, families and transport enthusiasts a great value day out in the Yorkshire Dales, with lots to see and do along the way. They have preserved 22 miles of the former line from Northallerton to Garsdale. Timetabled services currently run over the 16 miles from Leeming Bar to Redmire – one of the longest operational heritage lines in the UK. Southern Railway 777 Sir Lamiel is an N15 “King Arthur” class 4-6-0 steam locomotive built for the Southern Railway by the North British Locomotive Company in June 1925, and withdrawn from service in October 1961. It is now preserved and used on the Network Rail infrastructure in association with Steam Dreams and is part of the National Collection. The loco is named after a fictional minor Knight of the Round Table named Lamiel of Cardiff. Lamiel is mentioned in Book XIX of Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, where it is said he was "a great lover"
