Well, looking at the dates, they are all weekends, or bank holidays, so I should
be able to get to most if I work it out. What is the best way to get from London
to the EVR?
As for membership...
I will join up, and EPBPG and EVR ...after I have had a ride on the trains :-)

worked two vac coaches. There was an industrial vac braked loco on standby as
rescue loco.

all the other three CEPs will be hopefully running, so 2311 may make a few runs
