    Booked accomodation for this. Really can't wait for it. Particually look forward at being able to compare LMS Ivatt 2-6-0 (46443) with Standard 2 2-6-0 (78019). Plus seeing 61994 The Great Marquess on the Teaks will look brilliant!

    Not quite available yet but when they are they usually £5 (not aware of an increase this year) and availble through the Bewdley office - 01299 403816 although they are also usually available on the day from at least Kiddie, Bewdley and Bridgnorth ticket offices.

    Thank you for clearing this up.

    Another question I'd like to ask is can we purchase the WTT over the phone along with a Day Rover ticket like before?

    Looking at the SVR website Special Events page, it looks like the answer to this is "Yes".

    Just received the working timetable, with 8 locos in operation on both the Friday and Saturday, with 2 in light steam as spares...a mouth watering prospect for a spring gala at the SVR!

    Are there any updates on which ways the visiting locos and home fleet will be facing?

    I dont know the exact details but with 5786 facing north, I would have thought 5764 and 4566 would be the same. 7802 is to face south too, as for the rest, we'll find out when the gala starts...

    Do members need to book in advance to obtain an advance discount on fares or is the member's rate the same 'on the day'?
