Well I have my ticket so I'm guessing you're looking at the wrong website.

It used to say that. Might be worth clearing your cache.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a shuttle service between Paddington and Old Oak during the event?

Doesn't appear so.

All the 'how to get there' information refers to walking from Willesden Junction or one of the Acton Underground stations.

 

[AnthonyRail]

Anyone gone for a VIP ticket?

 

[AnthonyRail]

what traction can we likely expect to appear.

Im hoping for class 50, HST and IEP and GWR steam 6023 would be epic.

I think your fairly likely to get all that. Considering the various locos which have been at the depot during its operation and the effort GwR put into attracting the locos for SPM, I think you can expect: Various HSTs (Maybe new retro livery?) 08, 31, 37, 47, 50, 52, 57, 66, 166, 180, 387, 800.

Do any bus routes stop there and at Paddington?

 

[leomartin125]

When I had my interview at Old Oak Common, I simply got the train to Acton Mainline and walked, it was about 30 minutes and around 1.4 miles. On the day I will expect they will have buses running there from Acton Mainline and no doubt, Paddington.

Yes, you could get bus 7 to its East Acton terminus and walk for a few minutes.

Surprised as it seems little got an extra £50, would've have jumped on it if there was free gifts included.

Also, there seems to be a very nice array of locomotives turning up...
