    TBH I was talking generally, across opps we could do with more volunteers. Who would not want to volunteer (unless you lived in Strathspey) at our beautiful railway in Dorset?

    I wasn't saying we don't need more volunteers. Im simply saying that there are currently only just enough steam turns to go round.

    Is there a chance, assuming normal July not so high temperatures, the yellow timetable could run some 2 steam trains services again, or are other restrictions, like coal price?, a factor?

    Water quality is currently a big issue as it's becoming very variable.

    Yes I was somewhat surprised to see it leave this morning. If the last two days were diesel due to fire risk, is the U a "safer" loco?, the wind is way stronger today. The U only returned yesterday or Thursday, do not know which, but I did see it on the shed yesterday afternoon.
