Looks a good spring gala, now they have a Royal Scot on its metals.

 

Tickets on sale.

 

Where?
Just checked website and they aren't up yet, only the diesel gala ones available

 

They were there last night!! but agree can't see them at present.

 

How fortunate I am in charge of writing my team's work schedules at the moment... and I'm seem to, just by chance, given myself the 25th off

 

Dont know whats happening with ELR site it says buy tickets now for steam gala but when you click the button to get them it comes up not available

now working

 

Black 5 and Sentinal now added to steam gala, loco to be revealed later more than likely one of the Riley black 5's

Its 47298 (Jinty) and a Black 5 that have been added, the Sentinel 'Ann' was on the original listing.

 

my mistake— sorry
Neil

 

Wonder when the timetable with allocations will be published

 

Further line up changes.
1501 visiting from the Severn Valley
47298 and Black 5 taken off the line up

 

maybe we will get a timetable now that has been sorted out
Neil

 

Be nice to see 1501 double headed and/or passing 1501 whilst at ELR.

 

Noted on another forum there is a 0Z46 Thorpes Bridge Junc to Thorpes Bridge Junc booked for tomorrow lunchtime but nothing else to/from Thorpes Bridge as yet on RTT. Presume this is 46100 en route Crewe to ELR but performing a turning move so that it faces the requested way on the ELR. It would appear that the previous turning move at Castleton is not now available.

 

4 days to go and still no timetable. It's a bit annoying but it makes you wonder whether they're having problems.

 

its on the timetables page

 

Timetables available under the timetables tab on the website

Friday: SSG-TT-Friday.pdf (eastlancsrailway.org.uk)
Saturday: SSG-TT-Saturday.pdf (eastlancsrailway.org.uk)
Sunday: SSG-TT-Sunday.pdf (eastlancsrailway.org.uk)

 

So I’m not the only one who’s wanted to see that then! I’m also looking forward to the meeting of both 7029’s at Kidderminster one day.

 

Dont think this is the final version as parts of it don't make sense
Friday for example 10:10 am from Bury is freight, to Ramsbottom, but return at 11:10 is a shuttle passenger/

i was told it will be Tuesday when final timetable released
