    I'm going to this event, but it would be terrific if the website could delete the February loco roster and insert one for this month!

    Looking forward to my first "working" visit to Didcot with the A1.

    Any ideas which other locos are running on Good Friday

    It's hopelessly amateurish for Didcot's website to be listing February's loco roster on 12th March. Don't they want any visitors this month?

    It would appear it has now been updated. In response to ahardy's question it looks like the SRM is the other loco all weekend. An odd choice, perhaps but 4144 can't be used on the branch, so I guess it was always a choice of the SRM or 3850 (the Pannier tank)

    It's not often you get the chance to ride on the footplate of Tornado. Best £10 I've spent for a while :-D
