GCR Gala

[87015]

Know a fair few of you on here are GCR lads, so i'm hoping you can dig some gen up for me, apologies for all the questions.

60s gala in a few weeks, i think i read somewhere (prob pres-diesels) that it should be 25035/27056 out to play on the Saturday. Website seems to infer this, but are they likely to be doing much or very little ie a trip to Rothley?
Can anyone confirm, and hopefully provide diagrams etc please

Will see about going if there is enough action to justify the chingage.

TIA

As far as I know, working timetables haven't been written yet - it's usually not until a week or two in advance of the event that anyone's in a position to start doing that sort of thing. The gen's usually on the website pretty quickly, and I'll make sure it gets publicised here too

A bit wrong Tom I'm afraid!

The Working Timetable is publish for Friday and a Public Timetable, without Freight Workings available on the website for Sat and Sun. A Working Timetable Booklet (With a bit of information about Loco History and Event History IIRC) for a small fee, around £1.50 (Don't quote me!!) available to purchase.

See http://www.gcrailway.co.uk/spevents/gala0307.htm for details of the event.

Diesels would be, I expect, the 47, the 27, the 25 and possibly the 45/31. The DMU will be out and so will a couple of steam.

Well it's not as if signalmen need to know this sort of thing .

Signalman and Working Timetables? It will never catch on!

Can any of you Central (wo)men post the WTT online here please as not all of us can get to Loughborough Central before the event?

Cheers

I can link you to the Public timetable which is easily to be found on the GCR website. The Working Time Table is for Eyes Only! No freight, light engine moves etc in this one, passenger trains only.

Cheers lads, i'll see if loco diagrams are released before making my decision. If there is enough trips behind 25/27 power then i will be heading over.

I'll keep an eye on website, i'm sure that timetable wasn't up when i checked last week, apologies for asking when gen was available.
