    So the weather forecast for the gala is mostly dry Thursday and Sunday (both BBC and Met Office). Sunshine and showers Friday (again both BBC and Met Office). For Saturday, BBC reckons some showers in the afternoon while Met Office reckons dry.
    I'll leave it to readers to decide which forecast they prefer.

    So we are all set up…..Bit of a long day with lots happening late on but all is ready!

    As a reminder…..

    Loco Directions
    North - 75069, 7714, 813, 1450, Pug
    South - 71000, 7802, 4930, 13268, Judy

    Sets GW(4) and M(2) have no wheelchair access, the rest are all accessible.

    Well documented on various threads but lots of roadworks around the SVR. Anyone driving on the Wyre Forest route to Highley and so on mind the potholes as they are everywhere.

    And please enjoy it! It should be great fun.

    Hi Harry
    Well done. Hope to be there for the day on Saturday. I note the references to GW(4) and M(2) - are the carriage sets published anywhere - can’t see them.
    Best wishes / good luck for the event.
    Julian

    Oh I thought we had noted them, sorry. M(2) is the set that works the Bridgnorth local most of the weekend, GW(4) is one of the two south end locals
