    You might want to double check that. Last weekend is shown as 34007 and 925, but 850 was definitely out and about (edit: so was 925)...

    Will you be writing another blog entry on it? :p I managed to refrain when I visited! (Maybe I'll write something about some other railways I plan on visiting not yet featured...)

    You may like it; 30053, 31806, 34070 all 3 days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), with one of the class 33's (D6515 Friday and Sunday, 33111 on Saturday).

    A three-train service will be running in connection with the Transport Rally at Harmans Cross, with loco changes at Swanage.

    I'm unexpectedly free from Thursday, so wondering whether you could give an indication of planned roster? Thanks.

    Its 34070 this week, with one from 31806 or 80104 as the second engine on Saturday. I suspect it may well be 80104, but I'll check when I'm back in work tomorrow.

    Much appreciated as ever. If you could also give an indication for Sunday and into next week, I'd be grateful. I may now have some child minding to do on one of the days!

    Sunday will be 104 and Manston on the service trains, with 31806 on the Sunday lunch train. Monday will be either 104 and 31806, or 104 and Manston; I'll find out for certain tomorrow.

    It will be 80104 and Manston tomorrow (Monday); Manston on the 10:00 from Norden diagram, 80104 on the 10:00 from Swanage diagram. This will alternate each day as the week goes on.
