    Although are the BLS not keen on low loader moves?

    Seems to be floating round the Midlands, Peak Rail, the the SVR, Tyseley, Nene Valley......

    I've double-checked, it is definitely 7903 Foremarke Hall.
    Well would you believe it? Two autumn steam galas with two visiting steam engines that are BOTH Great Western.

    If it is Foremark Hall that would seen an odd choice given that Witherslack Hall is already running. Do we need two Modified Halls a the same gala? I know there are two Standard 2s but they are both from the home fleet which is a bit different.

    Didn't really stop 73082 joining 73156 last year or 4953 joining 6990 in 2020. If it is 7903 its a rare trip away from GWSR

    Another example being 92134 and 92214 in 2021. 7903 would be nice to see, a rare visit away from GWSR as has already been said.

    I can't think of the last time it left to visit another railway. Preserved British Steam says Llangollen in 2005 but also lists an Old Oak Common open day in 2017.

    I take it then that it's not likely to be my first thought last night of a much, much newer GWR 4-6-0?

    Well there is also a rather large apple green loco still at the GCR which is there for testing. Perhaps it may yet stay for the Gala?

    Suprised 2999 couldn't divert to Loughborough between Bridgnorth and Didcot. Would have been nice to see it stretch it's legs on a mainline.

    Would they want her back so soon? She was at last years Autumn Gala. Nothing against 2999 but would the cost of getting her there and hiring her be fruitful to the railway when she was there 12 months ago?
