Has anyone actually received any tickets yet?
Does anyone know when tickets are going to go on sale for the gala? I am assuming that there will be some kind of Covid restrictions like last...
First galal I went to at the MidHants (2001 I think) featured 34016, 35005 and 92212 taking it in turns to haul a 9 coach rake. Very good it was...
I agree - nothing is guaranteed to be 100% safe at the moment but I don't think the Mid-Hants could have done more to look after everyone.
An excellent day - seemed a bit weird at first with temperature checks, people in masks and so on but that is the crazy world we live in right...
Nice to meet you and your lovely black dog this morning. She seemed very friendly! Not sure where everyone else from Nat Pres was - coach M...
Saying a quick hello won't do any harm I'm sure
Ask South Western Railway - it's their car park, whereas the one at Alresford is run by the council.
Coach M seat 35 if anyone wants to say hello. Isn't it strange - the last steam gala I went to was at the Mid-Hants. It was the Flying Scotsman...
Looks like we're all on the Green Train (B). Look forward to it even though it's going to be a very different event to what we're used to. I was...
I think you are looking at an old version of the timetable - this has been corrected on the version which you can access from the MHR web-site....
Received an email today about Santa Expresses. Could it be they are actually going to start running some trains? Surely not! Well if they are...
Looks good. Just curious as to why 30925 isn't running. Is it due for some maintenance or will it be a spare loco for the event?
That's all very well but what law exactly have they broken? Being in a group of more than 6 or not wearing a mask on public transport may be...
How about getting them to clean out the ashpans and smokeboxes at the end of the day? Seriously though - it's not difficult. A simple set of...
Thank you Big Al - as so often the voice of reason in the strange world of National Preservation! A lot could happen between now and the time...
I think they were in a bit of a "no win" situation with the gala timetables. If they used the hourly timetable people said it was boring, if they...
As I mentioned earlier it's quite a difficult thing trying to accommodate everyone in accordance with the current restrictions. If you get a party...
To quote my favourite U2 song -" Until the End of the World." :-)
Fabulous! To think they put on the web page that they may have to cancel if they didn't get enough bookings!
