    I went to the WSR Autumn Gala over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the event. It was a shame about the timetable slippages on all three days, but they didn't spoil my enjoyment of the gala. I was a bit disappointed by the cancellation of the MD - BA shuttles on Sunday but given the late running of services it was certainly a good call. A BIG thank you to all the railway's staff and volunteers for putting on such a good event. I'm looking forward to both the spring and autumn galas next year.
