    Spent a very wet but very enjoyable 5 hours at the GCR gala on Saturday
    Saw and photographed all the locos in operation apart from 78018 this was due to a points failure and I was on a returning train from Leicester North and got held up for ages due to a points problem at Loughborough
    Missed the double headers as had to leave at 3pm for a 4 hour+ bus/train/bus journey home
