As i'm in Exeter if anyone wants to pm me then i am sure i can get them tickets this weekend for this trip and post them registered/recorded delivery to them.
Had a text from my mate early today (who works for FGW) , we're on the tour, He did also it is now sold out too!
Have amended the post accordingly after being re informed that only the Exeter tickets were goneSold out?
I do hope not
Well I've just phoned them up (0207 313 1064) about this, and I've reserved a ticket for the afternoon part of the tour, I'll be paying the guard on the day, so I would've thought others can do this as well.
She told me Exeter have sold their allocation of tickets, but Plymouth haven't.
Will be the highlight of the Sunday working for me, 'new track' as they say142 doing a test / training run up the Heathfield branch on the 24th out and back from Exeter.
Will be taking the trusty camera all day (and a smaller one in reserve, just in case)Would have loved to have gone, but there was never a chance that I'd be able to get to Exeter as soon as the ticket sales were announced to buy one. Still, will try and catch as much as I can lineside on the Heathfield Branch - great to see it bck in use. To anyone on here going - could you do us a favour and try and get whatever photos/video you can of the line, please?
Positively quite excited here tooUnder 20 hours to go now
I don't know why I'm relishing the prospect of 7 hours in a 142 but it seems to hold a certain appealPositively quite excited here too
Be Good Do
Absolute 'banger' of a day out, even a severe wheel flat on the middle of the 3 units coming back from Meldon couldn't ruin it, well done to all concerned, will post a couple of shots later today.
They've gone back to northern.
