With my abject apologies for this very last-minute posting:

The Pompey Pacific - see http://www.pathfindertours.co.uk/index.php/tour-calendar-reader/events/the-pompey-pacific.html

I'll be there at NLS with my camera ( Roll Eyes spotter Roll Eyes ) at 07:50 ...  Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

There's always the Bristol to Kingswear trains from next week.

There's also one from Birmingham Int to Plymouth on Saturday with steam from Bristol but the times aren't up yet.
