    I would expect the most important booking to be the one made first, which is the GoS one. Tornado will have a contract for a minimum of a certain number of NB services per year all this means is there is one service it is not able to have counted towards its contract.

    Given what's happened with Tornado's move to Carnforth and the disruption to the ELR booking, I'd be less confident

    Perhaps Tornado not showing up maybe a blessing in disguise?
    Someone today, yelling rather unnecessarily, was saying that 34059 would be standing in if/when Tornado doesn't show up.

    Perhaps if 6989 is still there, which I didn't see at Sheffield Park today, it could be a "Southern VS. Western" theme?
    2999, 6880, 6989, 34059 and 32424?

    The potential then for some final service double headers would be unfathomable!
    That's the one thing they did right at 2023's GoS, thought it was good idea.

    You do plenty right.
    I just thought it was good way to keep the enthusiasts there longer at the railway.

    Well, I am officially excited. Flights, rental car, and hotels booked for a quick jet across the pond in October for GoS. Having only been to the Bluebell once in 2004 and not gotten "off railway" on that visit, I am very much looking forward to attending all three days of the Gala and both riding and photographing the line and the action. Look forward to the eventual release of more details and the timetable closer to October.

    Very much looking forward to this and seeing the three new builds I have not seen (I saw Tornado at the SVR in 2011, hard to believe it was that long ago already!).

    Cheers,

    Stephen
