    No chance of replicating this with the goods I suppose.

    If the weather plays ball, the timings might workout for something like that - I'll put it to the rest of the group as a possibility...

    It seems they've really struggled the last few years - in my perception more than most heritage railways, though maybe they're just more open about it. But they've had some big celeb locos on the line in recent years - these events are often what top up the coffers, has that not been the case here?

    The general air of financial gloom may have a lot to do with this.
    Have a look at their annual accounts on the Companies House website.

    A fantastic day had today on the final Mickey Mouse charter, with the forecast rain holding off until we were finishing our last shot at 6pm. Having something face Peterborough was a welcome change and enabled some new shot opportunities to be presented. As ever, a huge thanks to those planning and running these events.

    Unlikely - appears to be on a driver experience day rather than the photo charter...although it could be a participant who was also there on other days of course.

    Ah. "The pump trolley overhaul was completed and it has returned to service - with good media coverage." One of the positives from the year! Quite a turnover of Trustees. Only approx. 36,000 passengers. No wonder there are so many appeals. They do well to keep going at all.

    Why not come and support one of the more proactive groups on the railway - a whole weekend of opportunities to drive Peak 45051 'Royal tank Regiment' on our fitted freight rake alongside the service passenger trains.

    Sat 8th & Sun 9th August 2026

    Take the controls of a heritage diesel locomotive and experience the world of a traditional British Railways freight train at Nene Valley Railway.
    Drive the locomotive, ride in the brake van behind your own freight train and discover how goods trains once operated across Britain’s railways.
    [​IMG] Two opportunities to drive the locomotive
    [​IMG] Visit the historic Wansford Signal Box
    [​IMG] Ride in the Brake Van and experience the Guard’s role
    [​IMG] Light refreshments included
    [​IMG] Bring along one guest to ride in the Brake Van

    From NVR FB:

    "GWR No. 6024 King Edward I to Visit the NVR
    We are delighted to announce that GWR No. 6024 King Edward I will be visiting the NVR over the weekend of 10–11 October.
    This will be the first King Class locomotive to operate over the former LNWR route on the NVR. In addition to hauling passenger services on Saturday 10 October, the King will also haul our popular Jolly Fisherman Train, The Cornish Riviera Express, on Saturday evening. Passenger services will continue to operate on Sunday 11 October.
    The locomotive's visit is made possible through the generous support of the Royal Scot Locomotive & General Trust, to whom we extend our grateful thanks.
    Tickets will go on sale on Thursday 11 June.
