    Fantastic event, 563 is an absolute picture and even this Brighton die-hard has to admit it's one hell of a machine. Some photos and a video below; [MEDIA] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    We had a cracking day out on the final day of what has been one of the best Galas of recent years. Everything seemed to work out really well for us. Arriving at Ropley just after 11.00 we had to park on the far side of the field. Fortunately the...

    I must say it is quite impressive that the majority of delays were caused by lineside fires despite the complex timetable! Clearly all the moves very well planned out.

    I wondered when I attended on Friday if it felt way busier than I'd been used to at the Watercress because my last few gala visits have been on Sundays instead and maybe the difference was that I've usually gone on quieter days, but it sounds...

    There were also earlier fires between Ropley and M4M but a number of us lineside were able to extinguish them without causing much, if any, slippage on the TT

    The fires were between Medstead and Alton. The up goods stopped a couple of times for the crew to deal with them. Everything was roughly 30 late after that.

    Further discussion about how to resolve the 34105 situation here is unlikely to elicit any further information or provide a useful strategy to move forward as what is known will not be disclosed for what I hope are obvious reasons. May I suggest...

    They certainly do have very real more pressing issues to attend to. 34105 discussion can be parked up in the Nat Pres headshunt.

    Wow! They left the best express run from 35005 to the last day. Awesome acceleration through Ropley with the mighty Merchant Navy really putting the power down. Wonderful chatter from the exhaust. Worth the ticket price alone for that experience....
