Why is it same as Swanage? Will it bring convoy in.

That is correct, the 66 will bring the convoy in from Swanage.

Thanks; if I miss the 11.05 how easy is it to find a taxi at Risborough and how much would you expect the fare to be?

There's a taxi office in Risborough Station car park and i think the fare is around 10 pounds

Hang on are you saying all the trains are pre-booked and we can't just turn up and get on?

9th is a driver experience
11-13th is the gala and you can turn up and get on.

Oh right, that's clear now thank you.

If I make it there it will be the Saturday, so that's all good then.

 

[168lover]

It is two weeks to go before we kick off the 3 day BIG DIESEL THRASH and for anyone attending who is also a fan of Class 121 'Bubble cars', you'll be able to get the 0747 and 08:49 (Thurs and Fri only) from Aylesbury to Princes Risborough on a Chiltern bubble car to then connect with our FREE bus available to all enthusiasts attending our diesel gala.
Note, our first free bus departs Princes Risborough at 0900.

Shame the bubble doesn't run on the saturday?

Sadly Chiltern bubble runs are peak times Monday-Friday only. On Saturday, all Aylesbury trains are through trains to and from London Marylebone.
