    Nah - it'll either be a fake-J94 or another which isn't a J94 either.

    Having looked up the details on the working timetable, it looks like it is both Austerities/Buckets/(look, they're steam engines, ok?) :)

    Saturday and Sunday also sees both out, but only one on public services.

    Monday is one of them, plus the Thumper, as previously stated.

    You may call them spades to go with your so-called buckets. We call them shovels on our locomotives.;)

    Never heard of it in all my 70 years, and I’ve worked my share of them in the past.

    I see Hastings was out over the weekend, annoyingly I was at the West Somerset gala so I missed her. Does anyone know if she’s due to be out again this coming weekend? Would like to have a ride behind her at some point

    Not this weekend. Looks like the 108 on Saturday, and the Thumper on Sunday, but don't quote me on that....
