    File seems to be corrupted, with one set of timings superimposed on another. Also unclear what the second timetable is - just the passenger trains on Saturday, or is it Sunday (and if not Sunday, where is the Sunday timetable?)

    Still not displaying correctly for me, but thanks for confirming that p2 is Sunday - that tells me all I need to know.

    A few phots from the Sunday of the event: http://www.flickr.com/photos/david_1984/sets/72157627803039886/

    The various displays at Swanwick are well worth a visit purely on their own merit, the moveable camera's inside the Dynometer Car in the West Shed being a particularly great idea, in all a enjoyable, lesuirely day out.
