For the first time ever the sole surviving ex Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway "radial" 2-4-2T No. 1008 will be leaving the National Railway Museum in York to go on loan to the East Lancashire Railway to be on display in the Bury Transport Museum there, but no date has been set when the locomotive will arrive yet. But the East Lancashire Railway plans to have No. 1008 in a line-up of all six surviving Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway steam locomotives in preservation in early 2023.
