    I’ve previously recounted on The forum the events on the footplate of 60532 on that day, as told to me by the NELPG rep on the footplate. He was sat on the fireman’s seat when it happened. Unfortunately, the driver had not put the catch in on...

    Isn't 1618 due to be the next MLS project once Stowe and 541 are back out? Mentioning U classes....I wonder if Swanage will get round to doing anything more with the other U and N? (Off topic I know, sorry) Chris

    I should like to mention massive slips like this were not uncommon ,and locos didn't fall to bits doing it. I think I've told this story before on Nat Pres. During the autumn/ winter of 1956/7 a friend of mine and I used to meet at our usual...

    Thank you both for your replies. Much appreciated. The timetable link must have been added this morning as it wasn't on there late last night.

    Timetable is indeed the standard two train one (found further down the page for this event - https://watercressline.co.uk/special-days/open-weekend/ ) Looking at the rosters, only 30506 shown to be out Saturday for steam, joined by the Ivatt on...

    The timetable should be the normal two train service on the Saturday. On Sunday there's a dining train running as well so I believe there might be a few slight adjustments to the normal departure times. Have no idea on the Kilmerson brakevan...

    Part of the job. If we want succesful events we have to provide what people want. I’m very much sat in the gala group to ensure we drive events for the people as much as the volunteers

    As I said above, but seem to need to repeat…. It is funded through the WMRE. It’s a really joined up, collaborative scheme which is designed to test the water. There’s no loser in it at all. SVR get paid to run it as a contract job, so can’t...

    In true railtour website style I see the Great Western shows a destination of Kingswear when it appears to be going to Plymouth. Copy paste alive and well in Crewe as well as Kings Lynn.
