    This coming Saturday 10th May will see the freight train out again and Sunday 11th May will be a running day for one of the Class 37s. Can't say for sure but I would think the timetable should be the same has before. But could be worth checking the web site towards the end of the week for confirmation.

    I haven't seen a loco roster for sometime. I couldn't say which locos would be in action next weekend. I did notice the 9F had its piston valves out. So it may or may not be in action next weekend and 34007 is still away from the railway but it could always return this coming week.

    Cheers for the link. Just to point out last time the freight train run. The 10.12 off Ropley was only a light engine move to Alton. Could be the same again.

    Yes I would imagine so as the stock will not be at Ropley, I imagine it will be collected from Meadstead or Alton (if the class 37 put it in the Alton Siding).

    Roster has been updated! 850 and 925 and 31806. Assume 31806 is on the Goods?, as 850 & 925 down to work Sunday.

    I had a hunch it might of been 31806 due to probably being the last time it will appear on the freight on the MHR.
