    Have any (restructured) heritage railways actually achieved gift aid on tickets?

    NYMR - see that thread at great length for the pros and cons, it is not as clear-cut as it looks. I seem to recall from a previous visit (but I might be wrong) that the IoWSR also allows gift aid on admissions.

    Quainton were trying to get me to gift aid last time I went there, although of course they do not really have "a journey" just a ride, so probably different rules apply

    Scotsman has been annouced to be visiting in end of October/early November.

    Guess that's why the Observation Car left to have work done on it.

    The post on Facebook also seems to be hinting at an appearance by Tornado at some point in the year too.

    Which post was that? When I looked again I can't see anything relating to Tornado.

    It doesn't refer to Tornado itself, but, to me at least, hints that it will be appearing at Swanage at some point. The last paragraph above the link refers to big news coming soon and that it'll 'blow you away'.

    “Blown away” - maybe it isn’t Tornado, but a guest appearance by the RHDR Typhoon?
