we have all seen beered up spotters behaving poorly at these events. Some people just cant hold thier ale. They also had a warning about window hanging so I suspect they are cognizant of the ORR being more interested in preserved railway operations.I find it truly shocking that a preserved railway - any organisation actually - needs to say such things.
You are missing out on a good event - planning is the key tbh. I try to avoid all the silliness if I can. I found the Bridgnorth end of the line quieter on the Saturday and i don't feel i missed anything by not being at the Kidderminster end. Going on the Friday meant I had the visiting locos "ticked off" away form the maddening crowds!’d like to have been at SVR but given the reports of occasional inappropriate behaviour and crowded trains I’m glad in a way I didn’t. I shall certainly think carefully before deciding to go again - or to any diesel gala that is likely to be extremely busy
