Hi all
The weekend is nearly upon us and here is the loco rota for Stapleford Steam 9th 10th June
Loco rota as follows for both days which is slightly altered this year to the usual due to the absence of the Berkshire this year:
Green and Saint paired from 10-00 till 12-00
NYC Niagara from 10:15
EAR 31 class from 11:15
From 12-00 onwards, the Saint will pair with the Warship Diesel which will provide assistance only as required and the Green Atlantic will then operate solo
This will give us 4 loco sets in operation from 12-00 both days and is the first time for some years the Diesel will have been in public service. This will not only provide a unique photo opportunity but also allows us flexibility while still retaining the atmosphere of steam traction on all our trains for passengers

Real ales list for the event are:
IPA 3.6% Farmers Ales, Essex
It's a bit light to be a true IPA, but its certainly hoppy. An amber coloured beer
Pucks Folly 4.2% Farmers Ales, Essex
A golden beer to rival any other on the bar. Light and refreshing with a citrus note
Golden Gorse 5.4% Humpty Dumpty, Norfolk
A Norfolk Blonde Ale. Very light in colour and with a balanced hoppy finish. It's a lovely refreshing drink; the perfect substitute for a pint of lager.

Double W IPA 7.4% Humpty Dumpty, Norfolk
Strong American-style IPA, brewed with Target hops and dry hopped with Centennial & Simcoe

A traditional dark red/brown mild.
Coffee Porter 4.3% Caledonian, Edinburgh
Mocha beer in colour with a thick beige cream head. Roast coffee and dark chocolate on the nose.

1555 4.3% Bishop Nick
A rich tawny beer with an unmistakably sweet nutty taste underlined by ginger and fruit
Ridleys Rite 3.6% Bishop Nick
A good, honest session beer, English Fuggles and Goldings do a sterling job of balancing crystal and pale ale malts, working their hops off for a floral aroma
Heresy 4.0% Bishop Nick
Pale ale malt and Challenger hops commit the brew to spicy bitterness with citrus and florals.
