    If anyone is around on Saturday, say hello - I'm on 925 (unless the rosters change again ...)

    I'm led to believe that it has sadly got another issue. Not sure with what.

    Says planned max speed 45mph, so I would presume she'll be tender first on the LE movement and facing North during the Gala.

    So with no 80151 I'm assuming everything points toward East Grinstead given the pictures I've seen of the unloading of Cheltenham

    If you are at the Gala don’t forget to come and see us on Platform one. Plenty to buy for Christmas or even better sign up as a member
