    Hi David,

    Yes, you're correct.

    In addition, 7817 "Castle Donington No 1" will now be in operation!

    Sadly, after testing Castle Donington yesterday, a fault with the main steam pipe has been discovered, which means the locomotive is now not available for use. She will be on static display however.

    With this in mind, I've updated the shuttle times with 1163.

    I thought the purpose of a footbridge was to allow passengers to get from one platform to another, rather than as a photographic vantage point.

    This looks like a good event.

    Anyone using the M1 to get to the event should be advised that there is a long stretch on both sides of the motorway restricted to 50mph. It extends southwards from Woodall services to Junc 29 and from Junc 28 northwards to Woodall services so allow extra time for journeys.
