    Very nice. I only had my phone with me, so my pic is lousy.

    I understand that the running today was partly a bit of an opportunity for test running following the repairs.

    The leading vehicle is an M. S. & L. 6-wheeler, with a non authentic interior, but comfortable.
    The other is a G. N. R. 3rd Brake, also a 6-wheeler.

    It appears this years Santa Specials are already bookable. I guess the K&ESR are leading the pack in selling those.

    Hastings has now arrived back at the KESR, and will be undergoing more running in before the season starts. She is due to run services in April and May, either side of her visit to the Bluebell.

    Love too, pending on rail strikes.
    Also, if I have the time to physically get there.

    I'm probably worrying about nothing [as usual], so I would love to be proved incorrect.

    Wouldn't it be nice if she could take her train down the line and be turned at Robertsbridge?

    Surely the effort required to summon up such negativity cannot be good for your soul. :(
