    Well I enjoyed myself yesterday. So things didn’t go to plan but I got to see the Caley Tank in its gorgeous new LMS livery and the GER tank was worth the entrance fee on its own.

    I was quite fortunate with getting behind all the visitors, plus 2807 for the first time to varying degrees over both days (though difficult if doing less that one day). My last train with the Caley Tank was quite busy in the first carriage and...

    It's the first time I've done one of these galas for quite a few years, and by 3pm all I had managed to achieve (having arrived at 9am) was Tod-Winch-Tod-Winch. The hour gap at Winchcombe after 229's return was devoid of anything that I heard...

    Railcar overheated and had to be shunted out the way at Winchcombe. We got held outside on the Caley Tank, with 3850, think the latter is being detached.

    On the Narrow Gauge and the Caley Tank looks to have been fixed, not long gone off shed at Toddington, although so too has 2807. Edit 15:03. 6880 has failed with a hot axle box and replaced by the Caley Tank.

    Looks like 3850 is covering for the Caley Tank on the delayed 10:25 Toddington to CRC service. It was due to be attached to 45110 at Toddington on my service.

    Despite all the issues, it's still been a fantastic event regardless and hopefully luck comes in tomorrow and things go more smoothly for all involved, as you say they don't deserve the bad luck.

    I really do feel for the team there this weekend. What a rotten bit of luck. I really do hope that passengers have a bit of understanding.... Knowing some members of the Gala Team at the GWSR, they put so much effort into the event and really...

    Token issue according to a member of staff when I arrived at Cheltenham Racecourse. I got the first bus up from Cheltenham Spa this morning, but was surprised to be the only one on it. Edit 10:05: A guard has just come through the train to say...
