Reporter, BBC News OnlineTornado has delighted the 500 passengers on its first service from Cumbria to North Yorkshire, with the locomotive now heading back to Appleby.
Queues were seen in Skipton for the remaining unsold unreserved tickets - a regular sight over the next three days I'm sure.

End of twitter postDiesel replaced by steam for three dayspublished at 10:09 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2017
A standard return ticket between Appleby and Skipton costs £17, even less for railcard holders.
The whirr of a diesel engine has been replaced by the high-pitched whistle of a steam locomotive, at the same price you would normally pay.
The 08:25 service was a complete sell out, predictably.

We've had some more terrific photos sent through of Tornado though, check these out:

The £3m Tornado 60163, which is able to achieve speeds of 75mph (120km/h), was built in Darlington and Doncaster by a group of enthusiasts over 18 years and completed in 2008.
A Peppercorn A1 Class locomotive, it was the first main line steam engine to be built in the UK since the 1960s.
Quote Message"A lot of people stand and watch in awe, others look up from their iPads, phones and newspapers and say, ‘wow, it’s just like a time machine'".

Trespass warning issued by British Transport Policepublished at 08:43 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2017
We’re expecting crowds to gather at stations along the route of the Tornado today, with British Transport Police warning people not to trespass.
Officers will patrol the route from Appleby to Skipton over the next three days, with onlookers told to enjoy the spectacle “at a safe vantage point”.
People on the line twice delayed Flying Scotsman’s inaugural run from London to York after a £4.2m refit last year:
Tornado 'off into history' at Applebypublished at 08:31 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2017
BBC Look North's in-house locomotive enthusiast Tom Ingall has once again sealed his dream gig and gets on board Tornado at Appleby.
After a look around the cab of Flying Scotsman last year, he's in his element once again.
I think it's fair to call it his dream Valentine's Day.

End of twitter postCorrespondent analysis: Expect a 'hugely popular' servicepublished at 08:16 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2017
Danny Savage
North of England correspondentFor over a year the Settle to Carlisle route has been severed in Cumbria by a huge landslide, with Northern wanting to give the route a high-profile boost before the reopening.
Laying on the first timetabled, turn-up-and-go steam services in nearly half a century is just the ticket.
It was on the Settle-Carlisle line that the last steam passenger train ran in August 1968, and rail enthusiasts will see this opportunity as a bargain.
An adult standard day return between Appleby and Skipton costs about £17, and for that you get a ride behind Tornado in "proper" carriages. Expect the services to be hugely popular.

Reporter, BBC News OnlineIt's a momentous day on the Settle-Carlisle railway as diesel is replaced by steam for four timetabled services between Skipton and Appleby.
People are heading to stations to get on board or to vantage points to get a clear photo of Tornado 60163, and we will collate the best images here when they arrive.
There will be two further return trips on Wednesday and Thursday, before normal service is resumed.
