West Somerset Railway Spring Steam Gala 2013

Will a roster be available beforehand?

 

Yes. It forms part of the Programme Steam Gala Programme 2013 « West Somerset Railway

Thanks, but I don't want a book full of pictures and notes on each loco, I just want to know which trains the S160 is hauling so I can plan where to start and finish my day. Will it be based at BL or MD over the first weekend?

 

Fair enough but at least by buying the programme you'll get your question answered

The WSR Plc might put some brief details on their webpage. If I get to know, I'll put the loco number and starting station on the loco roster on WSR :: West Somerset Railway :: Pictures and News but I may not get that info in time for you :-(

Hope you have a good time.

Steve

 

Thanks Steve, I'll have my 10 month old with me so I probably won't make many trips but I want him to enjoy the one he does do!

 

Very brave! Several nappies, at least one change of clothing, food, buggy etc. Does the WSR have any nappy changing facilities, I've never seen one. Enjoy your day.

Regards

 

He'll be fine, we did 13 different railways last year so he's used to it!

 

The West Somerset Railway has announced a rare and exciting footplate ride opportunity. On 18 March 2013 the heritage goods train makes two round trips between Bishops Lydeard and Minehead, and the Railway is offering a one-way trip on the steam locomotive footplate at £100.

Any idea when the timetable souvenir guide thing will be sent out? Placed my order and paid ages ago - only a couple of weeks away from kick off now so would have thought they'd have been sent out by now.... going on past years evidence

 

Five days ago I was asked to help source the pictures. I know many images have been now received by the designer/printer so I guess it's well underway now although I'd imagine it's still a week or so before it is ready to be sent out.

Thanks for the update Stevie

 

Hi
Hideous anyone know if there is a replacement for braunton yet?

 

Well it IS a Bulleid...

 

The American thing is more hideous....

 

As the gala is getting close now any news on Braunton's Replacement - will be down on 16/17th march

 

Suggest contacting the Railway, Simon, unless someone from WSR Plc is on here. Otherwise just keep looking at the event webpage or Facebook or Twitter. That's how I get my info these days :-(

Steve

 

Still no sign of my wtt booklet.... has anyone else go theirs or have the still not been sent out?

 

With only a few days to go now, I'm assuming that no replacement has been found for Braunton. Still an impressive line up mind.

 

this is the reply when i asked about the wtt.
The gala programmes with a bit of luck will be here on Friday if not Monday from the printers.

I looked at the roster on the unofficial WSR site, and it gives a list of locos up till and including Friday 22nd March. I couldn't see any mention of the S160; is this being held back until the final weekend?
