    Impressive - not only do they have double heading but they're also going to be restoring a loco which has been out of traffic for more than a decade to traffic in less than a week! ;)

    Does the Buckinghamshire railway centre know your borrowing 7715 and returning it to steam, personally I’d use 7714 as it’s already at the SVR in working order ;)

    It's clear to me that the SVR shouldn't have promoted the weekend. The whole idea of branch line trains is there's only a couple of people on them . That way the non-visiting public would be happy to know that the SVR faithfully recreated the...

    You could follow up with a "derelict railways" weekend then an early preservation weekend and culminate in a "festival of complaining" where apparent enthusiast arrive to complain about the fact there are too many people/wrong colour of engines...
