Leighton Buzzard Gala 2013

Quick reminder it is the leighton Buzzard Gala on the 7th 8th September.
No visiting loco's but 3 different types of motive power

 

Any more info about this? The LBR website is not exactly forthcoming about this event (when you eventually find a link).

 

All the serviceable steam fleet should be in action also 2 simplexes and the battery electric loco on service trains

 

What time are the first and last trains each day?

 

Miniature Trains rides and a working museum display including visiting engine AB No.1871 "Jack" at stonehenge. At Leighton Buzzard we have the engine shed show and local book signing plus as already mentioned 3 different types of motion power.
I will be working as part of the working display so please come and say hello! Sorry I haven't seen the timetable yet.

Cheers

 

On both days of the gala this weekend our Intensive Service is in operation. This gives departures from Page's Park every 35 minutes from 10:40 to 16:30, with rapid turnrounds at Stonehenge (by changing locomotives), so that as many locomotives as possible can be used. We should have seven locomotives in steam (Chaloner, Rishra, Elf, 778, Sezela No.4, Peter Pan and Jack) plus diesels and the battery electric.

 

Great, thanks William. It's my first visit to the line so I'm really looking forward to it.

 

I should be somewhere on the railway, both days. Ask for "William" and introduce yourself in person.
