Foxfield Summer Gala 18th & 19th July :- Crocks and Curios

It's me Ian and I don't use excel much. That's an abbreviated version of the working timetable.

 

1 day is £15, not sure offhand what the two day ticket is Tim.

 

A perfectly adequate for planning your day IMO.

 

As long as it all works!

 

Just had confirmation Tim, 1 day £15, 2 day £25 adults, Seniors £12 & £20, children £7.50 & £12.50

 

Thanks Nigel, I'll be there both days and I'm bringing some friends on Sunday.

 

The IRS stand is now confirmed, I guess that's another visit to the hole in wall !.

 

Tomorrow sees the eve of the gala with lots of activity, stock being shunted and loco being prepared. The 'One Legged Shunter' station bar will be open in the evening if anyone wants to pop along for a preview, a pint and a natter.

 

When is the first bus to the colliery? Also is there much parking their either as based on timetable will miss the first freight if go up by train.

Many thanks

Martyn

 

There is limited parking at Foxfield, but if you are there around 9 you should be ok.

 

Scenes from day 1 at the Gala. Many thanks to all the Foxfield volunteers for a great day

 

excellent.

 

Fabulous event as ever. Trains fairly full, and indeed the NSR set was practically bursting. For such a small railway the Foxfield really packs a punch - is there any experience on a preserved railway to match a train on the Foxfield bank?

 

Excellent video

Good day at Foxfield, well worth the 3.30am alarm call to get there for the charter!

 

Thanks for your kind comments. Excellent set of shots from the charter Nigel

 

Visited yesterday and had a great time. The Knotty Coaches were (very) well patronised - more than a couple of people suggested building some more !
Brought a visitor, my 96 yr old father as we were on our way back to NWales from the Hunslet staff reunion and gala at the Middleton Railway.

 

Particularly when you get scenes like this - 4 locos in steam AND working !

 

WOW excellent photo have you any more PLEASE???
