    Looking forward to visiting for this event. Always a warm welcome and good show at the NNR and particularly looking forward to a few trips behind 31806.

    Still no timetables on the NNR website, unless I'm missing something.

    Timetables are now on the NNR website it seems.

    Unfortunately it looks like the Standard 4MT and B12 will not be running due to continued works. However Ring Haw and Wissington will be making rare gala day appearances.
    Personally despite this bad news I'm looking forward to the gala. Especially seeing the J15 in GER guise as I've not seen it yet.
