    I don't think a thread has been started on this upcoming gala. I just went to their site and they don't have any mention of visiting locomotives.

    The GCR always leave their info until they're certai of it, but I hope we can see 6023 on the TPO, and 70013 and 777 running...

    Both of the gala's ELR and GCR look and sound very promising. This is development is great and I'm sure the 6023 folks are looking forward to their opertunnities at the Grand Central Railway regardless.

    Anyone know if a second guest is likely or will the King be it ?, the GCR has a strong home fleet at the moment to fall back on.

    Seriously intensive timetable? Or is that marketing speak for 'trains bunch up between signals'

    At the autumn gala the amount of waiting at signals was considerably reduced as you can now have the additional block section at Swithland! I believe its roughly 4-5 trains per hour on average in each direction between Rothley and Loughborough these days, and that is a reliable 4-5tph. At maximum capacity we can just about cope with 7 in each direction as far as Leicester, with a reliable 1.5tph south of there.

    Presume you mean Swithland or Rothley, if only you were running south of Leicester.

    At a previous event I enjoyed the trains pulling up at signals an awaiting the road. So reminiscent of the "good old days."

    I'm thinking of going to this perhaps the Saturday. I haven't ridden on the GCR since I was about 3 years old in about 1994 and can't remember anything about it although I me and my Grandad briefly stopped at Loughborough on the way back from a family Holiday in Yorkshire in 1998. Saw 7821 Ditcheat Manor outside the shed.
