'The Grand Farewell' is only two days away ... Ican confirm 423 / 480 allocated, all things being equal, with set GC02. They have just left York on the way to the Cross in fine form.
A few people have been asking about the auction items - passengers will be able to bid for a class 180 cab ride from York to Kings Cross, original "Peter Fox" nameplate, one of the special "The Grand Farewell" headboards, a footplate experience on a HARSCO stoneblower, and a 1,103 mile epic cab ride experience with our friends at VTEC from Kings Cross - Inverness and then Aberdeen to Kings Cross with an overnight stay in Inverness and rare track at Inverness and Aberdeen depots (oh, and a go on the IEP Simulator at Newcastle)!
Oh, yes and there is a raffle with over 30 prizes with the top prize being a cab ride with GBRf !!!
Oh, and a chance to purchase strictly limited edition souvenir mugs, badges, window decals and GC branded materials
Oh, and a chance to celebrate the 10th Birthday of GC
And finally, an opportunity to support some really good causes whilst bashing some rather rare track such as Ryhope Grange Sidings, Roberts Road Depot, Sheffield Down Station Siding.
