    Just booked my ticket today. I hope 80097 does make it, last time I was near her it was in the shed with the boiler off so I'd like a chance for a trip behind.

    Since Union of South Africa seems to have gone out with a bang and whimper I'd say '97 is probably going to get called up to the plate. We're tempted by a trip down for the Saturday. I've got other business in Manchester I can get done around it.

    Oh, I know. Just relatively rare I get the opportunity so two birds, one stone, all that.

    We are currently looking at making a long weekend of a Mancunian trip and if 752 is out Sat/ Sun then we might come down the Saturday rather than the Friday which saves a chunk on hotels. Pretty sure they do pints on a Sunday even in such enlightened times.

    ELR website says 41312 is stepping in and 60009 will be on static display. I'm OK with that.

    Can tickets for the E.L.R. steam gala be purchased on the day or do the tickets have to be booked on E.L.R. official website?
