Hands up who is off to Chinnor in March?
SVR gala will have a rake of air brake stock.I'm pretty sure when I say this but I will be shocked if the bone doesn't go to more than one gala this year, not knocking the chinnor gala but it would be nice to have it on a gala where she spreads her legs, the big galas may see her visit as well, it's been a very long time since I got off 020 at potters bar and I not sure I can remember what they sound like, just look at galas that have the right air brake stock to run her so off the top of my head that's the MNR,ELR,GCRN have the stock ready the WSR do have air braked rake so could but it wasnt built in Swindon so they wouldn't know what it is and the SVR and Swanage could sort somer I'm sure of that, it could well be a tale of galas that dont have it visit, witch as far as I'm concerned is only a good thing
It would be nice if they finish off the livery and put the depot plates and nameplates back on, seriously impressive for a small line to have the first 58 to work a train in the uk since 2003

I'm not knocking the Chinnor gala, but it would be nice to have it on a gala where she stretches her legs; the big galas may see her visit as well.
It's been a very long time since I got off 58020 at Potters Bar and I not sure I can remember what they sound like.
Just look at galas that have the right air brake stock to run her. Off the top of my head that's the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR), East Lancs Railway (ELR), Great Central North (GCRN); they have the stock ready.
The West Somerset Railway (WSR) do have an air braked rake of coaches, so could, but it wasn't built in Swindon so they wouldn't know what it is.
The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) and Swanage could sort something; I'm sure of that.
It could well be a tale of Galas that don't have it visit, which as far as I'm concerned is only a good thing.

58023 and 31128 reported as moved by one of the DCR 56s from Leicester LIP to Princes Risborough ACE this evening
That was two 56s delivering 33053 to us as 33201 is poorly so they're being swapped58023 and 31128 reported as moved by one of the DCR 56s from Leicester LIP to Princes Risborough ACE this evening

And the local class 31 in BR research colours) has gone U/S apparently
I will probably still go but it is a shame
Yeah I will still go as it's another railway I need to visit and brought tickets, hopefully they can get a good replacement to keep people coming.
This event is now postponed until later in the year, possibly October depending on the situation.
