    By the looks of it, this event should be something spectacular. I know people have commented on the high ticket prices, but I do feel you get value for money, especially if you're a society member.

    Also nice to see that, unlike previous events, they don't appear to be restricting the 'service trains' to pre-booked passengers only, and instead allowing them to be used by rover ticket holders, definitely boosts the value for money.

    Yes, to add to what I was saying in the F&WHR thread it is better than I first expected as it is 'free access' to both lines with your rover. I think that is the first time I have seen them do such a thing for an event.
