I agree it is very likely not to be the Jubilee, but a month is a long time in politics and the railway world. Who knows what may appear from 10A though. Maybe a set of CDL Mk1's will appear before 6880 actually makes a gala booking :).

DcB replied to the thread Swanage Railway Diesel Gala May 10 -12 2024.
