    The Class 47 and one of the Class 20's were rostered on a six coach set which was packed for most of the day. It was our third year of visiting this event and the amount of people turning up for the park and ride at Ropley today was astonishing. We arrived at around midday and we ended up in a queue of traffic on the main road which went all the way up the station road to the parking field. In the field we had to park near the bottom.
    30506 was on the steam service operating between Ropley and Alton.
    Thanks to everyone involved for a great day and thanks also for a delicious meal in the West Country buffet which gave us the necessary energy to explore the festival!
    Some shots from a rather damp Ropley near the end of the day:
