    No 22 at Didcot is scheduled to be running next on August Bank Holiday weekend and also 23/24th October. I think at present its still having some interior work done replacing the flooring and some upholstery.

    Oh yea! I have always like the Railcars (even though from a young age I was discouraged from liking anything Great Western) but have only ever been on the one at STEAM, which was stunning inside!

    The inside of No 22 will be stunning, if we can ever get it finished :)
