A couple of questions on what was at the East Lancashire Railway on the Bank holiday Monday of the 3rd May 1999 and Monday 26th May 2003. Traveled from Rawtenstall to Bury and back each time. All I have of 1999 trip is a leaflet and two tickets. Would anyone have a log from each of those days or know what would of been on the line on those days.
The Monday 26th May 2003 was an at War Weekend, was this the second at War event the first being back in 1999 at the ELR.

Regards
Albert

Most events are simmilar each year you could try emailing the ELR and asking them or try searching photo sites.

I have read on a another group somewhere that they are hard to contact. They haven't the staff to answer all the entusiasts questions. I have sent emails to The East Lancashire Railway Preservation Society at this address: membership@elrps.org.uk. Also this address: enquire@east-lancs-rly.co.uk which I found on a tourist site, which I think might be only for customers and finally the press office at this address:christina.seidel@east-lancs-rly.co.uk.
No replies so far. There seems no contact address for general enquires.
The only video I have found was late lastnight on Youtube of the 2003 at war event, but it doesn't state what day the footage was shot. Will email the guy who video it, to see if he remembers.

As for photos, I've searched quite a few photo websites and surprisingly can't find any for these two days or weekends. So I thought why not throw a question out to the enthusiasts on various groups to see if they know. So far it looks like no one went to these weekends.

Just had a reply from Christina at the press office, email she sent is below. I think that has answered my question.


We had a little dig in the archives and found the information you are looking for:

26th May 2003 – 42765, 76079, D8087 and 51218

3rd May 1999 – D7076, D2062, 46441, Thomas (Mid Hants), D345, D5054, 45337 and 42765

Hope this helps.

Many thanks & kind regards

Christina

So this leads me to ask, East Lancs railway Mon 3rd May 1999 Raw to Bury at 1.00pm. Does anyone know out of these three engines 46441,45337 and 42765. Which ran the Bury to Rawtenstall at 12.00pm or Rawtenstall to Bury at 1.00pm A longshot I know. I have asked ELR, but they only have a list of what was operating on the line that day and note individual times.

regards
Albert
