There were a couple of times that someone had turned on the isolators and messing with the controls, but they were escorted off the event. I think 6937 was subbing for 6942 who had a window broken.

Great to finally meet you Karl (and ALF!)

It was a fantastic day. Very well organised, plenty of buses to see, RS Recovery had two trucks, then as if it had been carefully planned, a third arrived with 5419 being recovered!

NX Comms were doing some filming and commandeered Fleetline 6600 for a road shoot.

Live music and hosting from the Sound Stage and just an all round joy to be part of. Here's to many more to come!
