    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.

    Thanks Seb, you know the pain it creates only too well! Every possible issue and then some was thrown at us yesterday including one that you just couldn't imagine. Police holding and boarding trains looking for an elderly gentleman with dementia...

    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...

    No problem. I'm on 45110 and we're leaving CRC now 40 mins late.

    Possibly some of the feedback here and probably elsewhere from yesterday about lack of information, has been noted, staff are keeping people informed at Cheltenham Racecourse, as I mentioned in my last post, a guard informed us of further delay...

    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...

    I attended yesterday and as always, thoroughly enjoyed the busy timetable despite timings goings astray. I tend to apply a mindset that a challenging timetable is always likely to meet with a few hiccups and to not get overly stressed and...

    I really enjoyed the day despite the delays. I've learned over the years not to get too worried about these things and go with the flow. It was just unfortunate that a whole number of things combined to completely wreck the timetable. I had a...

    I was on the first train that day, aged nine. It was the only railway event that my dad ever took me to - and here is my ticket (actually my dad's in all probability) to prove it[ATTACH] A day I remember well Peter
