    Just a reminder of the RAT tonight.

    No booking required, simply turn up on the night.

    £8/person, or £3 with a valid Rover Ticket for the weekend. See anyone there as I'm going down for the ride (can't drink as firing tomorrow).

    This Saturday Diner has now been cancelled due to low bookings.

    N7/33 still rostered to Top/Tail Cauldon services this weekend though, with 3x return trips to Ipstones on offer.

    Try and put a positive outlook on the fact the main services are not steam hauled, and it will sound more attractive to potential customers.

    Commencement of summer midweek services tomorrow, including an Afternoon Cream Tea service.

    Due to a fault found during a routine inspection, the N7 has been withdrawn for repairs and 33102 is now rostered for these services to CVR GREEN Timetable.

    Mr Meadowcroft deserves the applause, he did the hard work! I've just been playing with a 33 all day (though I did get to collect the Knotty Coach which arrived this afternoon, and is now safely tucked away in out shed).

    Still a few more weeks left, it will get a final run before it is withdrawn probably over the 12/ 13th of July which is the CVR beer festival.
