    If the weather plays ball, the timings might workout for something like that - I'll put it to the rest of the group as a possibility...

    It seems they've really struggled the last few years - in my perception more than most heritage railways, though maybe they're just more open about it. But they've had some big celeb locos on the line in recent years - these events are often what top up the coffers, has that not been the case here?

    The general air of financial gloom may have a lot to do with this.
    Have a look at their annual accounts on the Companies House website.
