    Nice to see such a varied amount of locos etc on display - especially the convoy of diesels from Kidder!

    Will any of the locos be running, such as the austerity, or will they be just on display?

    Looks good though!

    The idea is to have three locos in operation, the 0-6-0 J94 will be one of them. There is talk of an 08 and possibly an 03 too.

    Due to a popular demand for tickets after the deadline, it is now possible to turn up on your chosen day and pay on the gate.

    Any queries please email me
    www.longmarstonopenday.co.uk

    The shuttle will be operated by No15 Austerity topping and tailing with Class 04 No 11230 from the Glos Warks Railway which has NEVER worked a passenger service before! Rare stuff!

    Look forward to seeing you there!
    Jack
