    Entirely unofficial but I've read something like 11th May

    I've also seen the gala booklet (as opposed to the WTT) will be online early this week, deliberately held back to include some late information.

    There are a some TBCs for loco direction http://www.svr.co.uk/SEItem.aspx?a=65 to be updated

    A question, when was the last SSG or ASG to feature only three home locos? (I'm not complaining)

    2009 Spring Gala only featured two!
    Line up was 71000, 70013, 5029 & 60007 visiting with 7812 & 5164 from the home fleet - a six engine gala.

    Bellerophon was being subjected to some thorough burnishing of its rods at Foxfield yesterday.

    That's a shame, was looking forward to seeing her in her new livery. Presume a home loco will be a direct replacement for her diagrams?

    Shame was looking forward to seeing the B1. Will it be replaced or is there enough home fleet to cover

    I think both 7802 and 43106 are serviceable. 43106's work isn't due to start until April per last week's Express Points https://www.svrlive.com/epmarch18

    I wouldn't mind seeing 80072 picking up a few of 61264's workings as I haven't seen her at the SVR yet.
    It is a shame we won't see 61264 as that new paintwork looks amazing, would have been good to see her with the Teaks!

    So the weather forecast for the gala is bit wet with sunday being a bit colder, maybe some of dreaded white stuff.

    Maybe a certain 7F could drop in on its way home?
