2019 events

As dates for 2019 events are starting to be released, I thought it might be a good idea for people to list the events. So far I have:

• 15-17 March - Severn Valley Railway - Steam Gala. Info from Autumn Gala guide.
  
• 5-7 April - Mid Norfolk Railway - Diesel Event. http://mnr.org.uk/events
• 6-14 April - South Devon Railway - Golden Anniversary Steam Gala. http://www.southdevonrailway.co.uk/golden-anniversary-steam-gala-2019/

• 19-21 July - South Devon Railway - Diesel Gala. http://www.southdevonrailway.co.uk/2018/04/15/golden-anniversary-diesel-gala-announced/

 

Here's a few from the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway:

Once again I'm compiling a list of Special Events for UK preserved lines at http://preservedrailway.weebly.com/whats-on.html. I'll be updating the thread regularly for the next couple of months as more 2018 dates get confirmed, most railways I've contacted so far have said it'll be late November/early December till event dates are confirmed.

Visit the Whats On Guide Here for more detailed listings including vintage and family events (452 events listed so far).
