DIESEL DAYS AND GALAS

As is currently the way of things, any planned running days come with the caveat ‘pandemic permitting’. As we have seen over the Christmas period, plans can be changed at a moment’s notice. Hopefully, with the vaccine roll out now underway, things will begin to ease and at some stage during 2021 we’ll be able to see events not only planned but actually run. What is good to see is that railways are taking the optimistic view and we now have quite a list of planned events for the year, so hopefully some of these will go ahead. As always, check with the relevant railways’ websites closer to the date.
