    Thanks for a brilliant gala considering the unfortunate embankment slip. Went all four days and thoroughly enjoyed every day.

    A very good job all round with the event turning a profit which is what matters the most. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and all the locos behaved. Couldn’t quite organise the weather for the whole thing, but suspect that helped keep us...

    Quite simply the cost of diesel v the cost of coal makes the economics of this move stacked in favour of a diesel pilot. If this in anyway made the hire more viable for the SVR then even better.

    Isn't the yellow fire risk status still on? And red in the north west? If I'm right, the operator had no choice today.
