    Would have to agree. We all understand that the roster can change for various reasons beyond the railway's control, but it wouldn't hurt to advertise what's planned to be running!

    First off, apologies to any commenting on lack of roster and in relation to various valid points, in hindsight I perhaps could have asked for some information earlier which is what I did earlier today. Hopefully the following answers these questions and can give a more informed view of what is running at what times and enable a more informed decision.

    My understanding is that the following will be running and times

    12.25 & 16.35 Fri, 10.45 & 14.55 Sat, 12.45 & 16.55 Sun off Bridgnorth
    additionally evening train inconjunction with the concert on the Saturday 18.40 Bridgnorth, 23.00 off Kidderminster

    44871 - 12.30 & 16.40 Fri, 10.05 & 14.10 Sat, 12.50 Sun off Kidderminster
    10.45 & 14.55 Fri, 12.25 & 16.35 Sat 11.05 & 15.15 Sun off Bridgnorth

    42968 - 12.00 & 16.10 Sun off Kidderminster
    14.25 & 18.25 Sun off Bridgnorth

    DMU - various times between Kidderminster and Bewdley but also

    That roster information is really handy, thanks. Travelling behind a Warship up the Valley is one of my life's ambitions now on the brink of fruition!

    On Sunday the leaflet says the 1425 off Bnorth is Steam & Diesel but in the info you've provided it says only 42968.
    Same for the 1610 return off Kidder.

    Is it the mogul on its own?

    the actual information sheet on the website - http://www.svr.co.uk/pdf/specialevents/1960s Info Sheet 2011.pdf now appears to have been updated with times and the proposed locomotives.

    It doesn't unfortunately appear to now show a steam / diesel double heading on the Sunday (which timetable is different to the Friday and Saturday).....

    Just to add to this, will 46443 lead D8xxx one way and the 20 the other? Will it be D8059?

    The preorder 1 day rover is £17 and the preorder 2 day rover is £26. On the day prices are more, but can't say how much more.

    If you're going to one of the concerts, you can buy (together with the concert booking) a return ticket for the evening train from Bridgnorth at 18.40, returning at 23.00 for only six quid. As my wife is a Beatles fan, and the Friday evening train is scheduled for a Western, we're both content!

    *Shameless Plug*

    It is definitely a good deal.

    For £2.50 extra (Adult fare) you get all the sideshows - classic cars etc., a busy timetable and an excellent collection of steam and diesel locos including two visiting Black 5s, a wide variety of Mainline Diesel power and one of the longest first-generation DMU sets in the country!

    I'll be riding the rails Friday, visiting the 40s event at Halfpenny Green airfield nearby on the Saturday, and working Hampton Loade 'box on the Sunday (assuming I pass my exam :S)
