WSR Galas hit the ground running way back in March 1996 with the S&D 30 event and haven't missed a beat since. Releasing the pigeons at Washford was a nice touch at that event. Were they carried aboard the GWR Siphon? Can't remember now.

Nothing elsewhere to suggest they aren’t going ahead, RTT do withhold times for railtours with FS to discourage trespassers.

The original post was definitely clumsy and unfair, but I agree with Sidmouth's sentiment that 'gala season' creates tough competition. My ideal diary for the next 8 weeks includes the SVR steam gala, NYMR steam gala, Blaenavon steam gala, WSR...
