    The timetable for the diesel gala minus the loco allocations is now available here, and it looks like the LUL 4TC is back again this year.

    Is the preview day all diesel this year (as shown on the timetable page of the website) or as it has been historically before, one steam and diesel?

    It’s showing on HOPS as one steam, one diesel.

    Thanks, the railways timetables (on line and on stations) seem to be suffering some inaccuracies at the moment.

    Yes, I had noticed that at stations. I think most staff are aware of it so it should be fixed for the next lot of posters.
