    Just had our electronic tickets for 3/2/18. Galatea is the allocated locomotive.

    9 passenger carrying coaches including Buffet/Std plus Kitchen Car, so should be more sensible 11 with POB.

    Might have something to do with Std now being £109, not so long ago these were £69 with a trip free if you booked the entire series. These are big increases in price which means I for one am a lot more selective. Money isn't limitless.

    Well the variable costs such as coal, water and network access must have risen a lot.
