First confirmed visitor(s) are:
31210, plus mainline heritage loco which will perform the transit move to Bodmin.
Assume this might be 50008 ?

I thought 50008 was broken and reading on another forum that 31210 also broken as well, was supposed to be running today at the midland railway

Plenty of time until September to rectify issues (if not too serious).

Featuring guest locomotive 31210, courtesy of Hanson & Hall, joining our home fleet for the full three days.

Across all three days you can enjoy our home fleet (47306 ‘The Sapper’, 08444, Bubble Car 121020 and subject to maintenance we aim to run 37142 also).

Not only will our cafes be open alongside our wagon bar, but we will be firing up the BBQ at Bodmin General for all three days!

Tickets available now, follow the link below:

There's a good bet 31210 will come straight from the Bluebell gala? Though 31108 might be needed back home so it might come back with it meaning a separate trip to Bodmin. With 50008 close to being repaired? will be a flip of the coin with 47701

So 31210 will be dragged by 33012 (it has been operated with Hanson and Hall before)

Let's hope 31210 is ok been having a few problems at the Bluebell gala with it plus other gala's but is in good hands.

31210 remains at the Bluebell Railway and did not leave as expected with 33108 and 47701.

Note that I am not aware of a definitive source which said it was supposed to leave with them, but that was widely expected given the inbound arangements.

As mentioned above perhaps the other visitor 33012 might collect it, save dragging all the way to the Midlands and back again if the 31 is fit to run that is.

Move summary to/from East Grinstead:

A disclaimer that, whilst most info is copied from NR data feeds, I may have made a typo. Also, the expected traction column is effectively me guessing.
