It's a long way ahead, but after talking to Jonathan I thought I'd put this out there.

I know there are some TSTers to which the 'I Like Trains' song applies to ;) (myself included) so why not have a meet based around them, be it preserved rail or rollercoaster trains :)

THE (rough) PLAN: Saturday
Meet at Pickering Station at [insert rough time here]
Visit Goathland
Visit Grosmont
Visit Whitby

Drive to the Travelodge and check-in
Eat at the pub next door (other options are available)

Sunday
Check out
Visit Lightwater Valley [Insert meeting time here]


Anyone interested?

EDIT: Now there is 3 different meets planned for similar things:
This meet for North Yorkshire Moors Railway and Lightwater Valley
Another meet for Churnet Valley Railway and Alton Towers
And a meet for Severn Valley Railway and Drayton Manor

Interested yes, if my uni dates and student finance work out, I could be very up for this!
 
Definitely interested but I don't think I'd be able to go in September because of uni. Any particular reason why you chose those dates?

Just picked a weekend. If anyone has any better ideas please speak up, I'm open for offers :)
 
This trip needs to happen. I've been going to Yorkshire once a year for the parks since 2010 and still haven't got round to doing the NYMR while I'm up there, so it's definitely time I put that right.
 
I'd quite like to do this, depending on the date.

Really want to go to Lightwater Valley because I've only been on a school trip when I was 11 and terrified of rides!
 
Re: Mini Meet: North Yorkshire Moors Railway annd Lightwater Valley 27-28/09/14

wuld real like too do this all depends on if I can get though. Not sure if NYMR take HRA passes or not.

EDIT: maybe we could visit a certain preserved railway in the Churnet valley? and Towers one weekend. Not very often that I get to ride as a passenger
 
Aye, up for a visit to the Churnet Valley Railway. If someone comes up with a date I'm sure we can arrange it (put it in this topic, why not?)
 
Anyone be up for a SVR Mini-meet for the autumn gala there over the 18th to the 21st September? all night running Friday and saturday night!

Bit far in advance again, but I'll try and get there :D

EDIT: Added a plan for Severn Valley Railway meet and added the Churnet Valley Meet to the original post.
 
Would be interested in doing flamingo land on the Saturday and then light water on the Sunday
 
Well the original idea of this was that it was a train and theme parks mini meet, but I suppose if this goes ahead and people just want to join for the train or theme park bits then whatever I suppose...
 
The meet is Train and Theme Park, that doesn't stop people vanishing into the dismal abyss of FL
