Well I will be asking for my money back if it's a couple of 57/6s!

I wont be very impressed either!
I am mainly going for the track but the bombs would have been a nice touch.

If you looked at the email ticket, the title does contain PLEASE PRINT NOW so that might be some sort of clue!*
*or at least, it does for the Padd-Padd circular, which I am booked on the 1305 and 1505! After seeing the West Drayton trips "still available" there seems to be no link to actually book them

I'm booked on the 13,05 service and there is no 'ticket' sent to me. Just a confirmation I'm booked on it with a reference number. I have looked numerous times and it doesn't tell you to print it out or anything.

Am I the only one that thinks it's a good idea to print stuff off as a matter of course so I have a hard copy?
As soon as the emails were received they were printed off and kept safe, they are now sat in my bag in a plastic envelope to keep them dry.

Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned but I agree, and I have printed mine off too. It doesn't say you have to print it, but it does say you need the information, so presumably the booking code would suffice. I'm on today's 12.00 departure.
I believe bookings closed at midday on Friday 17th.After seeing the West Drayton trips "still available" there seems to be no link to actually book them
I'm on the 14.00 trip to Colnbrook as well.

The timetable on the Brentford branch has gone a bit pear shaped, the second 11.00 departure has just left at 12.10. There is a queueing system to get onto the trains, expect to wait a while!

At Paddington for the 1305

It is a pretty big queue, and the people standing on the bridge is attracting attention from locals wanting to know what has happened :P

When I was at the front of the queue, local lady enquired about tickets and was most disappointed when she was told that the trains were sold out! Nice to see some interest from 'normals'.

It was an enjoyable experience. Luckily I was booked on the 11o'clock yesterday , which must have left 11.15-ish . I'm guessing as the day wore on departures got later and later.
All I overheard was the Notwork rail, wouldn't allow the trailer to be used at very short notice. Anyone know the official reason?

The 1530 left about 10 late and it was an okay trip but it was a pity we couldnt/didnt run to the end of the line. What is the point of running branchline trips that dont go to the end of the branchline! The Colnbrook trip was the same.

Or nobody told NR about wanting to use the trailer until the last minute!

I did hear something about it possibly being weather related / related to the pulling power of the Steam Railmotor to cope with pulling / pushing both itself and the trailer fully laden with passengers up the gradient on the line. Correct or not, that's one answer I've heard.

Did the rail motor go on other branches as well as the Brentford line?

No. It went to Looe a year or two back though.

Naughty No 93 sprayed wet soot on my clothes and in my face. Made a change from getting coal grit in my hair (what's left of it). A splendid vehicle in all other respects.

I was looking out for the Sprinter and Railmotor from the coach into London on Saturday - if I'd hadn't got pre-existing plans I might have gone to have a look.
Mind you I'd forgotten about it on the Sunday as I had plenty of time between checking out of Hotel Slimelight (7:30am) and my coach home (7pm)
