    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.
