Ann, do you think it is entirely appropriate to discuss anyone's private life on an internet forum?

I suppose a moderator can get away with it!

 

As I have spoken to Rumpole about this and he is ok with it I don't think that you need to worry! ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

 

We're getting there !
See http://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/bfw09.htm and scroll to bottom of page for Friday's and Saturday's public timetables. Sunday's will be there soon no doubt.

 

Confirmation of Friday and Saturday nights' FREE entertainment in Beer Tent now on website (see above for details).
Not sure why Sunday's timetable has not yet appeared.
Beer selection has reached 53, I believe, with Wine, Ciders and Perrys in addition.

 

Timetable now covers all three days with the Evening services covering only Friday and Saturday nights.
See hyperlink above to get to the Swanage Railway website.

Keep praying for fine weather [-o<

 

ive never been to this gala or a diesel gala so this year im going on the friday as its my b day and to see the deltic \/

 

Hope the Sun shines for you on Friday [as well as Saturday and Sunday !!].
Happy Birthday for Friday 8th.

 

I hope the Friday's dry and sunny as well, don't fancy being drowned Tangoman...!

 

Thanks Pete

 

Is there a separate charge, for the VR from Wareham to Norden?

Sorry to be a party pooper but they will not be running in those times

 

Hi have you got the times for this convoy then?

Thanks

 

Am afraid not.

The ones you have quoted unfortunatly are not going to happen.

In fact no one will know until tomorrow as they will run under a VSTP

 

No charge for the bus but we will be selling gala rover tickets on board.

 

I gather from WNXX that the convoy, slightly delayed, should be arriving into Swanage anywhere between 11pm and 1am...

 

I had a phone conversation about 40 mins ago and the convoy was then in the fleet area. Thanks need to go to all those involved with bringing these engines down.

had a cracking afternoon today, however was quite shocked to find that the 50% off for Camra members didn't apply to the day rovers after all. So we had to pay the £21 each at on the day rates.

But again - the weather was fantastic, and I love the timetable. Even though we were 30 mins down, it was always easy to plan moves and it was so easy just to hop on and hop off. My only regret is that due to being on 'The Palatine' (or should that now be 'Master cutler') tomorrow, we couldn't stay until later in the evening. That said we did manage Norden P&R to Ewell in less than 3 hours on the return journey thanks to the free bus!
