    I'm wondering what exactly is meant by "Terrier Gala". So far they have said that Fenchurch should be working and Stepney will be on static display, but what else will be running? Some years ago (about 2007 I think) they did a fantastic gala with 5 terriers running (should have been 6 but one didn't make it). If I remember correctly there was Stepney, Fenchurch, Knowle, Martello and Freshwater from the Isle of Wight. Are they planning something like that again or is that very wishful thinking?

    Two home fleet locomotives at the very least. So Camelot is also a possibility and if rumours are true something else....

    I don't think you going to like this A1X but I think it's going to be 6989 "Wightwick Hall".

    Trust me, I was shocked too, but I will personally welcome it with open arms. :)

    W11 should be facing South, while Poplar should be facing North.
    All other locos are facing North.

    There is a possibility 80151 might be working in place of another loco as well. This faces south

    The timetable for this gala is certainly ambitious and leaves very little room for any on the day issues / delays and it could slip very easily if problems occur. With only 4 minutes given at Kingscote between crossing trains and just 5 minutes at Sheffield Park on arrival / departure, getting between these particular trains could be 'interesting'.

    The Hall had failed and will be replaced by 80151 which is facing South.

    I’m guessing W11 will always be leading running bunker first when paired with Popular & O1 while running north?

    A certain irony there as the reason I was going on Friday was for the Hall and Fenchurch. Booked today.

    Now neither is running and the Booking Office is closed today to get a refund.

    Won't pre-book again.

    Due to the failure of the Hall, the timetable for the event has been altered and can be found on the website
