    Nobody has. 2008 was when the loco last steamed.

    Finally left at 0945.

    Shuttle bus is only a short single decker this year rather than a double.

    We've not seemed to have had much luck this morning On the bright side, it's a beautiful day, we have a cracking line up, and the goods train is now pretty much as long as Toddington platform
