    Timetable says that, or is there some doubt?

    Didn't look far enough down the timetable, found it thank you. Beginning to wonder if there was a turntable suddenly appeared :D !

    Anyone know if there will be a Cheltenham Spa to GWSR Cheltenham Racecourse shuttle bus again?

    Can't answer your question, but be aware there is horse racing on Friday and Saturday so may mean getting to Cheltenham a little trickier than usual.

    Just planning our weekend, looking forward to this one. One quick question regarding the Sunday top and tailed 12.05 off Cheltenham, which then forms the 1.40 non stop off Broadway. Timetable has pilot/trailing - will it be 7903 leading to Broadway tender first and then 6880 leads to Cheltenham tender first, or will the chimney first loco be on the front. Thanks in advance

    I stand to be corrected, but having just looked at the timetable, it looks as if both workings will be double headed with 6880 & 7903 coupled tender-to-tender - the allocated 'pilot' loco therefore should be on the front i.e. 6880 leading the 12:05 from Cheltenham, then 7903 leading the 1:40 non-stop from Broadway. I hope this helps. :)

    The loco direction info on the timetable indicates 6880 is to face north, with everything else facing south.
