    I thought offering membership for the usual annual price but valid until Dec 2014 was good, especially as it was only a fiver more than a day rover. Well, it would be rude not to join for that price! The list of discounts available with it too was substantial. I'll have to make more visits next year, despite the 600 mile round trip.

    Lydham is certainly my fave loco. It was being lifted up onto her footplate at Paignton as a small boy in the 1970s which kicked off my interest in steam and railways - so I have a soft spot for her for sure. Hopefully she won't be out of traffic for long, and hope she stays in BR black - suits her so well!

    Of course, makes sense, thanks for the info. No complaints about this gala at all, still no shortage of variety, was just curious about the change - and relieved that the idea of the Staverton layovers will be back for other events when practical as it makes Staverton an even more enjoyable place to be.
