    All has been very quiet at the ELR on their spring gala. Any ideas what Locomotives will be running? Visitors?

    45407 lost it's tender so probably less certain and not sure which of the above will be present and available by March.

    Just hope we don't get any improbable double header combinations, otherwise, yes looking forward to the event as usual. Quite a while since we had 45690's 3-cylinders sounding up the valley.

    Nice to see freight trains making a return to the gala timetable, all adds to the interest.

    Rather have passenge shuttles than freight, means lots of time sat at Bury (27 mins) when heading to Rawtenstall, rather than jumping off for the Rammy shuttle, when arriving from Heywood.

    Well it'd be rude of me not to pop along then! :D Having blown all my steam money (and then some) for this year a photography day for me, as long as the weather's nice. Never been before; how does station access work during galas?

    But ELR is one of the few heritage railways that doesn't insist on rovers and nothing else to travel.
