    34072 is keeping busy at Swanage although part of the event did plan for it to be at Spa. However, I've asked for 31806 instead if a loco from Swanage is able to visit for the Cuckoo Line event as it'd be a new class to the line in preservation and a U Class (31803 I think) worked the last railtour with an N Class.

    80078 will probably pop back for the event during its Summer at Mid Norfolk; it isn't really a secret that the loco does regularly come and go; it'll be back for the Beer Fest and next Polar in any event.

    Thanks Jonnie. It's an event I'm looking forward to. My Grandad used to live in Hailsham and we walked up to Hellingly a couple of times.

    A few photos from a trip down to Tunbridge Wells yesterday afternoon. I put a small bit of money towards the Broom Lane Bridge too.

    Stunning photos, thank you for braving the cold weather to get them!

    For anyone interested, 34053 and 31430 are running again this weekend.
