For those who are interested at 17:30 ish I saw a 67 with BR blue MK2s heading through Frome on what I can only assume is a Glastonbury special.
Large fleet of buses in the station car park, so I don't know if the train is terminating short of Castle Cary.
I didn't get the number as it took me rather by surprise.

Hope this helps

Bet the RPI's will have a 'field day' nabbing all the 'Glasto' student/hippy types, who'll try to get away without paying haha...bless 'em...at least the event brings much needed 'variety' on the rails!

This was going to be Cranmore, but I can only assume they couldn't get anyone to open the gates at the station, or they couldn't get the staff to operate the clips for the catch points (or both)

I did think it would be Top and Tailed to save going all the way to Taunton, but it would probably damage the wheel sets on the rear loco for such a distance

May I ask if anyone else knows if there's going to be any further Glastonbury "specials"?
