We thought GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) 175 was a great excuse to get one of our favourite locos GWR Pannier 6430 in for another period of hire from the Llangollen (she visited last year for a weekend). This time she'll be paired up with our 3 Mk1 coaches - 2 of which have been recently repainted.

She'll be running on 14/5th, 21st/22nd and 28-30th August and also on September 4/5th for the popular Bunkfest festival of music, steam and beer. Cross platform interchange with FGW▸ (First Great Western) services at Cholsey station.

In addition to running public trains we'll be holding our first ever Photo Charter on Saturday 28th August from 5.30-8.30pm ^20 a head - DM me for a booking form.

Hope to see a few of you on the branch - I'll be firing or working in the cafe most day so come and say hi!
