    It has been announced on the GCR Website that 48305 is now unlikely to appear at the 'Last Hurrah' as the 8F is still in the final stages of its overhaul.

    Does anyone have any insight into 47406's brief appearance on set D which apparently stands for Stable in down platform...! Thanks.

    All loco's are facing South yes and 47406 is Loughborough station pilot/Dining Train locomotive but does work the Vans to Swithland at the end of each day.

    Looking at Saturdays timetable, they have managed to put 70013 on both the van train and the mineral wagons as well as passenger work, so that will give a bit of photographic variety!

    45305 shown as passing its steam test yesterday on their Facebook page, so OK for this weekends event.

    Yes 45305 will be out on the mainline next year and 45305 only had boiler repairs so she didn't loss her mainline certificate.
