A preserved Hastings Line DEMU, D1013, leads a railtour from Charnock towards Polmont, with additional units including 1001 and 66430 involved in the journey. The train initially operated under headcode 1Z30 before changing to 5Z30 after technical issues arose near Preston, where overheating led to delays and a temporary reformation of the unit. The railtour also includes freight services operating from Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal.
