    Hopefully 4247's stay is until the end of 2027, I'm planning on going to the Autumn Gala, but was wondering if I'd be able to fit everything in and would be nice to make another visit for 4247. I was wondering if 6989 would have an extended stay,...

    I think it is a great line up. 6989 will get families attending the event which is good for the railway's finances and future. Okay so the Hall isn't in her correct livery but taking black and white shots will overcome that issue. A shame that...
