    Quite a significant day in South Oxfordshire on 31st July - hopefully we'll run more joint events in the future with Didcot. Looking forward to what should be a good day!

    There is an 08 based at Didcot, according to EWS-GEN I think it is 08787

    Looking forward to this event tomorrow - just been down to charge the 08's at Wallingford so they'll start in the morning! We've got lots of West Berkshire Brewery Beer to sell on the train and a thrid coach is available for us to use if we get busy!

    Fares are confirmed at a bargain £6 for Adult rover - 10% discount if you have a Didcot Railway Centre Admission ticket).
    Don't know exact loco allocations, but be here is how we plan to run the day. The plan means that if you stay for 2 round trips you'll definitely get haulage from all three of our 08's.
