    Hi,
    The NVR website is carrying a message to the effect that the event of 12th/13th September has now been postponed until 10th/11th October.

    Hmmmm, I wonder whether this has anything to do with an incident that occured there a few days ago?

    73050 is fit and healthy again and should be hauling services this weekend. Wise move to change to October

    Just a pity that the new dates clash with the GCR gala.

    Didn't the Nene Valley also cancel a steam gala last year?

    This is merely a question and only based on 3rd hand info. Is it true that the NVR operating licence is under threat because the deltic split the rails? I assume not as a green service is due this weekend.
