    Spring Diesel Festival - Additional work for 59001 & 57010

    Due to a shortage of drivers for the Class 56 and the loco being required for other work on Saturday night, the following alterations to the loco workings are required:

    Thursday
    11.05 ex KR - 56049 replaced with 59001.

    Friday
    12.50 ex KR - 56049 as booked.

    Saturday
    08.10 ex KR - 56049 as booked.

    11.05 ex KR - 56049 as booked.

    16.40 ex KR - 56049 replaced with 59001.

    Sunday
    15.00 ex KR - 56049 replaced with 57010.

    This provides additional chances to ride behind both 59001 and 57010.
