If one purchased a DRS 2010 calender before friday one would have gained a ticket for the Open day.

Would be intresting to see whats at Wolverton

 

[CCF23]

The website says that they want it to be like or rival Eastleigh 100 last year, if it's anywhere as good as that then it will be good.

Guessing Northern will be doing something since they've done it for the past three years, although the main 3 depots have been done, so wonder where it will be this time.

They could do the cycle again of the 3 depots?

 

[142094]

Suppose so, they have all been a good day out.

 

[Drimnagh Road]

Spitfire should be running a tour down to Wolverton.

I am half expecting a shuttle service from MKC to the wolverton railway works, because the entrance to the works is about a mile from wolverton station

I'm pretty sure there must have been a shuttle from there at there last Open Day I went to there, as I remember catching 87101 back from Milton Keynes to Brum after it. Mind you, that was back in 1988!

 

[33056]

There was a shuttle using vintage busses to Wolverton station in 1988, a mate of mine was one of the bus owners doing this.

how do you get on to the wolverton depot website

 

[matt]

http://www.transportevent.co.uk/index.html is the website for the open weekend at Wolverton

 

[djbfram]

has anyone got photos from the last Wolverton open day - I own the works fire engine that was still in service back in 1988 so presume they probably had it on show then I haven't got any old photos of it and would love to track one down.

If I can contact the organisers I'll see if I can take it along for the weekend.

i have heard of Yeovil 150
i don't expect it to be great like E100 but with a railtour on the sunday with 2! locos which one will need turning plus visiting locos and cab visit it would be worth even a small visit
