    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Once again I'm compiling a list of Special Events for UK preserved lines at http://preservedrailway.weebly.com/whats-on.html. I'll be updating the thread regularly for the next couple of months as more 2018 dates get confirmed, most railways I've contacted so far have said it'll be late November/early December till event dates are confirmed.

    Visit the Whats On Guide Here for more detailed listings including vintage and family events (452 events listed so far).

    Thanks. Is GWR diesel event definitely 5th/6th October website states: Sat 12 and Sun 13 October – Autumn Diesel Weekend – Special prices apply; Note: the new date for this event - it is no longer 5/6 October which will be a normal timetable running weekend.

    Updated above posting with Kirklees Light Railway, Mid Suffolk Light Railway and Embsay & Botlon Abbey Railway.

    Are the summer diesel gala dates correct, 4-6 July is Thursday to Saturday? More likely 5-7th.
