It probably also depends on the route and how much potential disruption would be caused if one broke down. It certainly seems to be the case that...
Is it also a matter of whether the train is air or vacuum braked? As I understand it WCRC do have air braked stock and some of the locos they use...
Yes but there was only one Black 5 (44871) on the front that day
I think we're getting confused with the Tornado trip to Bath/Bristol on 1st Dec which does go over Savernake (or at least I hope it does because...

My apologies - I was thinking of 6430
Looks like lots of information on the GCR web-site except a timetable (or have I missed something?). Can anyone tell me what time the show starts...
