    Perhaps, but as I could see from the timetable that it wouldn't work for me so I had a full-line return trip on the Railway the previous weekend using the normal timetable, so they did get my money after all!

    The problem I have, you see, is that I have to leave my dog home alone when I go out (she just isn't of a suitable temperament to take with me) and the recommendations are that a dog should not be left alone for more than four hours at a time. I can make the four-hour rule fit in the normal course of events-half an hour each way from home to Bridgnorth and back, say two and a half hours return journey on the train, half an hour to get a drink and sandwich from KRM before getting the same service back to BN,will just about fit. I really don't like to leave my dog any longer than this and the Branch Line timetable would have meant a longer break at Kiddy which would have meant extending the day to five hours or more. I appreciate that most people would not have this problem, but there you go.

    Impressive - not only do they have double heading but they're also going to be restoring a loco which has been out of traffic for more than a decade to traffic in less than a week! ;)

    Does the Buckinghamshire railway centre know your borrowing 7715 and returning it to steam, personally I’d use 7714 as it’s already at the SVR in working order ;)
