May see you there, Neil. I'll be there Saturday.

 

Has anyone managed to get in contact with David at the 6880.co.uk email address regarding foot plate rides on the locos? I emailed him a few days ago and haven't had anything back

Fancied a ride on Tornado or Britannia up the line...

A bit late to ask perhaps, but does anyone know if there are any photocharters taking place next week? I have a vague recollection that something might have been organised...

I'll be based in Glyndydfrdwy from Monday onwards and would like to join in anything that may have a place available.

Thanks,
Mick

 

Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday mornings IIRC. Don't know how to book though, last time I handled everything along with Broomhalla and we advertised on here and the SSS website. Not being involved this time I don't know who's taken this up for SSS3.

 

Thanks for that lil Bear. I'll make enquiries at Llangollen station on Monday.

 

Monday 3x trips / Tues 2x / Wed 2x / Thu 3x

All other days 6430 is operating the autotrain up the extension starting at Glyndyfrdwy.

 

I did mean a proper auto- train, with a coach at either end. Bet you can't find a photo of that!
Had a good day on the railway today riding behind 'Tornado' along the new extension.

Started the Gala well .Had a good trip in Tompson Buffet, top and tailed by Tornado and Foxcote Manor.Just got back home after an evening in the station sampling most of the 18+ beers on offer and not a bad one among them.Well worth a visit,Richard and his gang have done another good job setting it up.Roll on tomorrow.

 

good day so far, trains about 30mins down , waiting for super d and coal tank outside glyn at mo

 

I clearly had too much, had at least 8 ,but tried tasters of the rest.Don`t think anyone could go through them all.That is if someone knows different.

 

Trains are around 90 minutes late and quite out of sync, with long waits for passing at stations.
Apparently an issue with 828's train earlier in the day, faulty brakes on a coach supposed to have stopped the train in section causing a long delay.

 

60163 getting ready on the 1720, will be around 1 hour down.
Planned double header at 1640 with 49395 and 828 canceled, instead 49395 and 58926 double headed the freight !!!
