The BIR Diesel Weekend takes place over August Bank Holiday weekend (26th to 28th August 2006). Traction will be D9521, 20228 and (by kind permission of the Llangollen Railway Diesel Group) D8142. The Barry Railcar Project's 108 and 117 will also be in operation.

Saturday and Monday will see an "enhanced" train service (trains approx every 30 mins), with Sunday seeing a more intensive service, based on the WTT for the Transport Festival for those who came along. Both the GatEx and the Mk1 rake will be in operation.

Rover Tickets are £7 for all day travel (one day). Two days at £12. 3 days at £15. Child prices are £4 (one day), £6 (two days), £8 (three days). Adult single is £1.50. Child £1.00.

First train on Sat and Monday are 1040hrs (DMU), last train (DMU)1740.

Sunday's first train is at 1030 (DMU). Last train (DMU) 1710.

Timetables will be available soon and will be posted on the BIR website, the BIR yahoo group or direct from myself via email. ([email protected])

For those who cannot make the Diesel Weekend, D8142 will also run the following weekend, the annual "Waterfront Festival".

All subject to availability!
