One of them was being worked on when I left so hopefully they’ll both be operational for the weekend.
Looks a bit out of place mind you!The clock is ticking down to Friday…

That's exactly how I remember 'em during the latter years; 1990s especially!

One of the few images you can hear...
Genuinely got excited when I saw that. My wife thinks I'm very weird...
Updated to include Thursday’s moves with RTT links (bold text).
76048 has been spotted on the move by road on the M1 today so should either have arrived today or will arrive tomorrow.

Another photo on Facebook from later in the day of the clock fully working.

5Z84 on the move from Wembley - thought to be the MLVs and the EPB. Anyone know what the loco hauling it is?
47701 reported
Thank you for that this look like the train to Haywards heath is a better option than the bus from Crawley to East Grinstead

What is best option for Sunday, coming in car from M25 from the West, East Grinstead is closer but how much of car park is taken out at East Grinstead for Rail Replacement? Never been there on Rail Replacement days so I don't know if it's half taken or if no parking would be available?
There's no official Bluebell Railway parking at East Grinstead. There's a couple of accessible spaces but that's it. You'll either have to find a pay and display or run the gauntlet in the Sainsbury's car park

The paths for departure will not be in the data yet. I do not believe any traction (other than 33108) will stay at the Bluebell for long after the gala.
A reply on a Facebook comment from the railway said that they'll be stored at "the south end of Horsted Keynes Station". I presume they may be kept in -1 road siding, which is the next line beyond platform 1 of the station. It's possible you might also see them in the Ardingly spur, or in the Carriage and Wagon yard.
The best parking facilities are at Horsted Keynes, where there is a dedicated car park.
I think they’ll be kept in the Down Yard.
