    Thanks, the railways timetables (on line and on stations) seem to be suffering some inaccuracies at the moment.

    Galatea did come out another time in I want to say May when it ran a private wedding charter with the Mk1's down S&C and that had a Diesel behind the loco due to the fire risk. But yeah I never remember it going anywhere in September.

    You only have to look back through the images in this thread to see how many are not diesel dragged, and why now for example with the opening of the East West line so many go that way from 10A to 81C so the loco ends up the correct way round.
