    Will footplate rides be on offer this year? And if so are they also likely to go on sale next week too please? Haven't quite decided on attendance but it's likely I'll be along for at least one of the days, this has become a bit of a 'go to' the last few years!

    We're holding off publishing until we can announce our final guest, hopefully end of this week/this weekend. But the TT is essentially ready to go. It should be worth the wait!

    Its gonna be UP 4014 isn't it, just awaiting the results as to whether Stanway viaduct will take the weight.... ;)

    Whilst I'm on my yearly trip down in the vicinity, I won't be able to make it this year, hope everyone has a fine old time at this lovely line.
