Welcome to "The Railtour Files", a major part of Six Bells Junction. This set of Webpages are an attempt to list the motive power and routes of as many UK railtours (and some non-UK tours) as possible. Tour details from each year can be found by following the links below;

| Can you help identify this particular tour? | The Thanks Page |
Updates Update :
Please send 2008 tour gen to this e-mail
address which will be dealt with by Alan Sheppard on my behalf (though
please be aware Alan on occasions has paid-work pressures like I do so cannot
always process the info quickly). Older gen can now be forwarded to any other e-mail address you have
for me as I will deal with that when I've time. We always endeavour to get
information uploaded as soon as we can but if there is a delay then please bear
with us, we both have full-time jobs too! PLEASE also take note of the comments
in the section below "Submitting Gen? Please read first...", especially if you
are sending information for the first-time, or infrequently.
Contributor Links
The owners of the following Website(s) in this section have very kindly contributed towards the running costs of this Website.
My personal thanks also goes to Bill Leatherland, Brian Whitaker, John Debens & John Simmonds who have all chosen to make a contribution as a way of acknowledging the important source of reference that SBJ has become and enjoyment that can be derived when reading through the many pages of information and memories.
It currently costs me around £100/year to bring you Six Bells Junction which, up
to now, I have been paying out of my own pocket. The cost
is for the domain name (sixbellsjunction.co.uk) plus the provision of Webspace
and mail forwarding etc. Though I've never asked it before, donations towards
the running costs would always be gratefully received. I am willing in return to
consider allowing adverts (of a railway interest/nature only) to be placed for
an agreed period in this area of the homepage and/or in a prominent area at the
top of the links Page.
If you are interested then please
contact me for further
discussion.
Looking for something in particular - a loco, a tour etc? Try this search engine and you may be in luck!
This page needs your help! I have added the details for all those I have travelled on myself and those for which people have sent me the details. There are many more to be captured so please consider digging out those old records and send me the gen from tours you were on! You'll get a credit on the relevant Page for each tour you submit details for, plus an honourable mention on the thanks Page. Please read the notes at the bottom of this Page if you intend to submit any information, (preferably before you submit the information...).
Gen can also be faxed to me - just send it to 0871 242 0088 (calls to this number cost about 10p/min) or +44 871 242 0088 if sending from outside the UK.
Also, if you spot any errors in route or motive power detail, or have any comments with regards to "on the day" problems, additions or omissions, then also get in touch.
There are no limits to how far back you can go - so lets see some "real" steam hauled tours being detailed here! Over to you....
