You can also list just trains through your station...e.g.

*Note: A lot of the mixed Steam/Diesel tours only pick up the steam loco at Carnforth.

Originally Castles were not fitted with sanding gear, when they were for some reason the strong winds over Shap blew the sand away. I don't know if the same sanding arrangement is still in use
