  2. Yes the instruction is to stop at Norton Platform. I'm confident folks can get out and use the platform to stretch legs/take photos but someone who works in Ops can comment and confirm, please? The Platform takes four coaches only so folks may have to walk through the train to be able to get out. BTW good views of the run round can be had from the (standing) train, esp at the Minehead end of the rake.

    I presume you mean the 1030 departure from NF. 34070 from NF to BL. 53809 attaches at BL to double-head forward.

    Gerry comments "As you can see, it actually had no shed plate on Sunday 6th March 1966 when it double headed (with 8F 48706) a Stephenson Locomotive Society special from Green Park to Bournemouth and back; this train was the last to do a complete round trip over the line and the very last to enter Green Park station with passengers aboard."

    And here is Chris Ruddick's picture of 80072 renumbered as 80043 for the duration of the Spring Gala:

    And incorrect times. Some proof reading would not go astray. It's poor form really.

    Looks like better weather than we had yesterday! Still the reflections from a very shiny 53808 in the sun might have been too dazzling!

    I'm sitting here in the snow in North Wales. I have a 247-mile drive ahead of me. I do hope that I can make it! Can anyone tell me whether it's possible to travel on the engineering train behind D7017?
