    Just in case you didn't know, 80072 will be operating on Weds, Thurs, Sat and Sun this week before returning to the Llangollen Railway. This could be your last chance to see Std 4 on the K&ESR, make the most of it!

    It's a cracking machine, our lads have thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed having her here. We'll be sorry to see her go.

    Just two days left. 80072 will haul the 10.40, 13.15. and 15.30 trains from Tenterden on Saturday and Sunday. She returns to Llangollen on Monday so this is your final chance to see a Std 4 on the K&ESR.

    Since entering traffic in September last year after almost 40+ years out of service. 80072 has become a firm favourite with footplate crews at Llangollen, as well as a popular loco for enthuiasts.

    A big credit has to go to Pete Evans & his team of volunteers who have put it a huge amount of effort in getting 80072 back into steam.

    80072 will be doing service trains at Llangollen from Mon 24th May to Fri 28th May.
