Scots Guardsman No 46115 is pulling both Dalesman and Pendle Dalesman excursions over the spectacular Settle-Carlisle line. And Galatea No 45699 is hauling the Scarborough Spa Express through York to the east-coast seaside resort. Coupled-up behind each of the heritage locomotives are West Coast Railway renovated carriages, dating back to the 1950s, some of which appeared as part of the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter movies.

MANY years ago I sat on a Crime Panel in a local town concerned about the rise in crime. The panel consisted of a judge, police inspector, local minister and myself as a teacher.
