    Can anyone advise when 80072 is arriving at the GCR (if not there already)?

    I am trying to establish which weekends it might be running.

    The GCR newsletter says:

    BR STANDARD 4 NUMBER 80072 IS VISITING

    The Great Central Railway is welcoming a 'first time' visiting engine in
    March 2010.

    Standard 4 number 80072 will be visiting from the Llangollen Railway. It
    is expected the engine will stay for a month and work weekend passenger
    trains.

    It will also be a second guest for the four day 1960s gala on the 25th,
    26th, 27th and 28th March 2010. The gala also features Celebrity
    Peppercorn A1 no 60163 "Tornado" at the event. 80072 appears courtesy of
    its owning group and the Llangollen Railway.

    Having recently returned to traffic, this will be only its second visit to
    another heritage railway.

    Yes, I know that doesn't quite answer the question, but it's a start!

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    That pretty much covers 80072 stay at the GCR. I think it is due back at Llangollen after the 60s Gala as we will be using it for our Spring Gala on 23rd-25th April.

    No I do not currently volunteer
    G.C.R. Website says "Engine arrived this week". The G.C.R. Newsletter says it will be used on the weekend services each weekend. Why not give 'em a ring?
