    Any chance of the tram being used for brake van rides at a future gala?

    As I have said, we aware of the issues we had with the timetable and I can promise we will work on it. Whilst not making any excuses, we are a young dept which is moving very rapidly with our galas. The loco line-up changed so many times that the timetable was written so many times too. We will learn and come back better.

    On the positive side, we made a significant project on the event and made a significant amount towards our new shed from cab rides and donations.

    The H/Y7 was an absolute joy to see in the station and massive thanks to Andy Hardy and the Middleton for bringing the loco to us.

    We couldn't have asked for a nicer crew than those who came with the K4/A4 and we all had a really great weekend. To see an A4 on the pit road at Dereham seems kind of surreal to me....

    After two massive events in 4 months, its time for us all to have a bit of a rest. Thank you to everyone who visited. These galas provide a massive financial boost to our railway.

    Regards

    Kieran H.
