    Any rumours of a 2nd visiting loco?

    Presumably it will be of the GWR variety?

    A blue king would be nice! More likely to be a Manor or a Hall i imagine...

    If all the Heywood services are the auto-train only there's likely to be a capacity problem with only one coach. I too suspected the Rammy shuttles are extended to Heywood, would make sense.

    Your pun is well appreciated, when I worked at a company on the Bury/Heywood border the latter was always known as monkey-town, I know not why!
    A lot of visitors on enthusiast's weekend choose to arrive and start at Heywood because of the good parking facilities, just saying it might be tight if the one coach shuttle is the only way onto the railway.

    I know there are two auto-coaches at Llangollen, we did them last weekend. I am just quoting the ELR site which talks about a single auto-coach, but if the other is coming, great. It still doesn't fit, passengers from a 4/5 coach train on the Rawtenstall service won't fit into a 2 coach auto-train for Heywood. Interesting if another visitor is lined up.

    I'm fairly confident there will be plenty of room.
    The intention was to try and use the Autotrain to its best potential without it getting trapped in a siding for most of the day (which it would if it was just doing bury/Rammy shuttles) the other Heywood set will be 4/5 coaches and top and tailed. We're trying our best and hope we manage to please the Majority.

    Hmmm... any clues to second visitor, would it be a certain 4-6-0 due to visit Keighley?

    I was kind of thinking hearing all that was hearing and also thinking that 34092 needed more miles of track to roam on.
