Hello all, a brief update on the upcoming diesel gala!
A quick breakdown (not literally I hope!) is as follows with more details up asap.
Friday: Class 26 on passenger service, Class 14's on Rideable Freight (probably with a loco swap at some point during the day)
Saturday: Intensive timetable, involving 26, 2 class 14's and 08 operating passenger services. Rideable freight will also feature (with the Dogfish), and Salty/Don Corbett doing Driver for a Fiver in the Low Level at Norchard between services. Services will continue into the evening connecting with evening mainline services at Lydney Junction
Sunday: Similar to Saturday, without the evening trains.
More and the same info will be available on our website and facebook page.

The cafe will be open from the start of the day offering a large breakfast selection, and then hot food throughout the day. On Saturday it will continue offering food until 7pm (with a curry special).
The on train buffet will be open all 3 days and serve snacks, drinks and local beers.
There are also good real ale pubs at Whitecroft and Parkend and 3 of them (The Miners Arms Whitecroft, The Woodman Inn and Rising Sun Moseley Green) all offer ticket holders 10% off food.
