That's a shame, but these things are never certain til it's on the front of the train on the day! Look forward to hearing more about the inaugural tours in the spring.

silversteellady liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Dean Forest Railway steam gala 31/10 & 1/11.
Bearing in mind it is a XC service we are talking about it would probably need to be more than a few minutes:). There have been no XC services the past 2 Saturdays, I guess due to engineering works, so cannot see what has happened recently.

No, the SVR was contracted to operate the service at a set rate by WMRE. There was no loss for the SVR, it simply had to operate the contractual service it said it would provide and got paid for.

Thinking on it, I don't think I've missed a Giants of Steam event since my first one in 2002 when 34027 Taw Valley was the visitor (but had failed on the day I visited). Also having had a look, my runs behind 71000 were almost exactly 20 years...
