The added idea of a preserved vehicle could generate just as much interest.

On another note, I'd be more than interested doing a day trip by rail somewhere. It's less reliant on people letting you down.

A69 is a 30mph to 50mph windy narrow track road, depending on what slow-moving vehicles you get stuck behind! (Whole section from just outside Carlisle [Scotby] to Hexham is single-carriageway, albeit with a few crawler lanes along the way)
