Railway200: The Greatest Gathering. Derby Litchurch Lane. 1-3 August.

DCRail Class 60 also added

 

You're not wrong! Will be interesting to see them in the same place though, both in heritage liveries

 

No problem today getting tickets for the Friday. Less than 5 minutes. Saturday appears to be fully sold

 

Does anyone know how many tickets were on sale? I have seen 30,000 expected over the 3 days, but I was surprised as that seems low for something that was billed as a once in a generational event.

 

10k for each day. So yes, 30k total.

 

Doesn't look like Flying Scotsman appearing at the rail 200 bash at Derby, dates on NRM say
NRM 5th-20th April
Shildon 24th July -25th August

 

Friday and Saturday now sold out of the Greatest Gathering tickets. Only Sunday remains

And 4-VEP 3417

 

I was torn about this event - but having missed the 150th as I was still in junior school, I thought that if I don't go to this I'll regret it afterwards, even if it does prove to be a disappointment. So a Sunday ticket purchased, confirmed and downloaded.

 

Apparently all three DPS Deltics are to be at this event: https://www.thedps.co.uk/post/exciting-news-from-the-greatest-gathering

 

That’s a nice addition.

 

35028, courtesy of the MNLPS, has now joined the lineup.

 

Event now fully sold out

 

Just in time then!

 

The ticket that I bought almost three weeks ago has finally arrived.

 

I've now been sent a second set of tickets despite explicitly requesting a refund of my duplicate payment,

 

Looks like Flying Scotsman will be there after all: https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2025/0...7L9dtBVHiAT-6ERTYg_aem_MgExYxqz2qbxvhHt564Cdw
