I was able to attend this on Sunday afternoon and have been reflecting.
I was there from 2.30 until 5.45 and travelled on three different trains hauled by Repton and the T9, the Standard 5, a Jinty and the T9 by itself. I saw the van train hauled by a 9F, the Windcutter train hauled by an 8F and the TPO set hauled by Repton. We passed by Witherslack Hall on a freight and the DMU set. The Standard and Ivatt class 2's were awaiting turns.
The four stations were busy, there was action at Quorn and Swithland......
How lucky we are to have such a variety of steam action on a railway closed in 1969!!
A big "Thank You" to all involved over the weekend....and over the years.
