  1. acorb 回复主题: GCR Autumn Steam Gala - 1st-4th October 2026.

    I was referring to the steam gala, but this year's diesel gala was always advertised as a home fleet event, so it did not incur any transport costs. The WCR 47 stayed on as a last minute visitor after accompanying Scots Guardsman down, so...

    I think you and I must have visited a different Severn Valley gala...that was very busy this year, notably many younger attendees and families. I have noticed a lot more younger enthusiasts attending in recent years and they are far less partisan...

    A couple of pages back now I did a simple calculation based on 300,000 visitors/year and turnover of £10m. The figures were deliberately chosen; the former because I understand it has been achieved in the past on more than one occasion,...

    The water stop was changed to Folkestone. I don’t know why but an anti immigration protest by the Wetherspoons Fusiliers may have had something to do with it. Load 14 and no diesel again!

    Shouldn't the statement have said 'Cancelled due to lack of appropriately compliant rolling stock'?

    Well it's been an odd last 3 months, with mainline steam severely restricted and finally banished from NR's metals. In the northwest July was the only dry month, with around a quarter of the usual rainfall, the other months saw around average...
