    Is there a train timetable available for the steam show? I can’t seem to find one.

    I suppose all I really need to know is, what time is the first train from Smallbrook to Haven Street?

    Only one train in service? No that can’t be right.

    On the steam show web page it says they are running their blue timetable today. There must be a different one for the steam show.

    Apologies - I've looked at the wrong link. The link to the locomotive roster (http://www.iwsteamrailway.co.uk/files/documents/loco-roster-2018-07-aug-pdf.pdf) however suggests that there is a Special Timetable using 2 locos (W11 + W24) for that weekend but - as noted by the OP - there is no indication of running times yet. I would suspect that it would be the same timetable that was operated for the 3 locos event at the beginning of August but minus the Haven Street shuttle to Wootton operated by W8 and the special Haven Street - Smallbrook shuttle with W8 to set up the double-header final train.
