ELR Wartime Weekend - End of May Bank Holiday

Is 5197 going to working trains for this event ?

 

yes

 

no

 

If you are ever in need of a clear answer... come to NatPres!

 

Just thought I'd rock the boat a bit. I don't even know if its running or not - I'm guessing it will be!

How very professional. [-X

 

He's just upset that there's not going to be a tamper running at the ELR gala...

 

Thanks hughesfowler. Seeing as I know I can trust your information shall go with that. Looks lik a visit to ELR could be on the cards for that weekend.

 

Subject to all the usual disclaimers, 5197 should be out for the War Weekend - well worth a visit and an excellent event too.

What is the point in posting that?? It is plain confusing ](*,) [-X

 

Any idea of what turn 5197 will be working ?

Also what else is rostered ?

 

Rostered on the Bury-Rawtenstall trains (2 sets 7 or8 coaches) are 5197, 47324+ L/Y 1300 double heading with D335 rostered as well (it is a 40's weekend!!). Don't know which way round but the 40 is scheduled 11.00 /14.00/17.00 ex Bury.
DMU 1305 on Bury-Heywood shuttles - 32 Gothenburg (minus nameplates!) on Bury-Ramsbottom military freight train.

 

You've just made sure I'm not going GWSR with that. Can't wait \/ Do you have Brake Van rides on the Freight or not, and any ideas of timings for these runs ? What are Prices too as I've not seen them yet, simply says Rovers will be available ?

 

Hven't got full freight timings , but generally they run in the 'shuttle slot' at xx.40 ex Bury to Ramsbottom, think there are 3 trips scheduled but regret no brake van rides.
Fares- it's an event, not a special event so ordinary fares apply, £11.80 full line return valid as rover.

 

I`ve been for the last couple of years and a very entertaining event it is and hopfully i will be traveling on saturday. There is a full events list on the ELR web site and seems alot going on each day with a Dakota flypast on saturday if it goes to plan.
Tts best traveling and stopping off at the stations and not linesiding for this event

Ha Ha a good deal of the ELR drivers will be at the GWR railway on saturday and sunday for my stag do.....monday will be the day to go....i'm on the lanky if anyone wants to say hello!!!
