    If this level of detail can be made public, was the Bluebell Railway Trust's stake increase from 40.3% to 90.6% achieved by share donations, share sales, or both? (Just curious; I did see the "remarkable generosity of its majority shareholders", which would seemingly indicate a donation, but that could be read as 'allowing ownership to pass out of their hands via a sale'.)

    Following on from the announcement of the visitors for the Spring Steam Gala, the Bluebell posted are making a visitor announcement for Giants of Steam tomorrow, saying you want to miss this one.

    An interesting tactic there.

    What hasn't visited for GoS that could be a real Must (Not) Miss Event?

    I was racking my brain and I can only place this, 71000 and 4079 as contenders.

    60532 and 71000 feel like the most likely candidates to me.

    5029 and 4079 could be possibilities, but recent events have seen quite a few GWR visitors (7714, 1369 and 7812 for the 2024 Branch Line Weekend, 2999 and 6880 for Giants this year, with 2999 also doing the Spring Gala).

    Only other options would be one of the Carnforth based locos making a rare trip to the South.
