    A quick note about this event which takes place the weekend after next.

    Full details are available here: http://www.bluebell-railway.com/event/southern-at-war-weekend/ but highlights include a visit by Collet 0-6-0 3205 (courtesy the South Devon Railway) and a flypast by a Spitfire each day.

    Haven't seen a timetable yet beyond "frequent train service".

    Edit: Looks like a three train service on Saturday (B473 with Southern pre group coaches / Maunsells; 1638 with Bulleids/Mark 1s; 3205 with Mets / 4 wheelers. Sunday looks like a two public train service plus lunchtime Golden Arrow.

    Timetables and loco and carriage allocations for the "Southern at War" event now available via the PTI page: http://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/pti/

    Quick summary:

    Saturday

    Visiting engine 3205 is on set A (Bulleids / Mark 1s); 1638 is on set C (Maunsells / SECR 100 seater / LBSC bogie 1st / SECR Birdcage brake); B473 is on set D (Mets / 4 wheelers). 1638 also runs the evening Golden Arrow, for anyone totting up the loco mileage (110 miles for the day...)

    1st train is 09:45 ex SP, 10:45 ex EG and then a regular service at 35 /40 minute intervals. Last public train is 5.15 ex SP / 6.30 ex EG, also 3205, which is running four round trips.

    Sunday

    A normal Sunday service, e.g. trains every 75 minutes starting at 9.45; the other path is taken by a lunchtime Golden Arrow. 3205 is on the vintage set (which is strengthened with the Obo); 1638 on the Southern pre-grouping / Maunsell set and B473 on the GA.

    The Spitfire flypasts are supposedly between 2pm and 3pm on Saturday; between 1pm and 2pm on Sunday, at Horsted Keynes. Haven't yet seen confirmation about which specific aeroplane is involved.

    All the above subject to the usual caveats about availability etc.

    According to the BBMF website, the Sunday flypast at least will be one of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfires, and is due at 13:20.

    Also, unusually for a tender engine on the Bluebell, 3205 is facing south.
