    I assume anyone would not be allowed to post the working timetable here.

    It wouldn't be fair. Honestly, why people jib at forking out three quid - it's hardly going to break the bank and we've seen how much work and money goes into laying on a show like this!

    You can by programmes on the day but makes sense to buy in advance.

    Hi I asked the question and was told you would get a Timetable for the day that you buy your ticket for.
    But why not buy the programme to keep as a souvenir!!!!

    There is an intensive two days of photo charters on the thursday and friday before the first weekend, run by Don Bishop. As always I'm sure they will be great. His website states places available on the thursday. The friday is currently marked as full but may be worth dropping him a line. http://www.donbishop.co.uk/charter-details.php?id=161

    Like Andy, I am also one happy born and bred S and D Fan (Midsomer Norton Lad through and through) who is also lucky enough to be a Passed Cleaner on the WSR. The Loco Lineups are great and not to be missed. These will be made available within the Gala Brocure and on a daily basis for those buying tickets. The WSR have spent a lot bringing in visiting locos so please if you come along and just take photos and don't ride the train, please give generously to the stations and platform appeals.

    The signalling roster is out, and I seem to have a fair slice of the Minehead signal box / Controller turns.

    And all weekend days are split shifts, so time to watch the scene at Stogumber and elsewhere as well.

    Excellent!:cool:
