1198 will be running this coming Saturday at the PBR. Traction will be a class 37! Lovely!!
Anyone able to pop over and say Hi, I will be in FirstGroup uniform having come straight from a night shift, so I should be easy to spot, I will also be quite likely nodding off from time to time so please feel free to give me a kick if this happens :-)
On Sunday, I aim to be at the EKR, even though the BEP isn't running. This will fit around the Belgian Grand Prix of course but Shepherdswell is only an hour by train for me.
Unfortunately work decrees that I can't be at the EVR monday, which is a bit of a blow for me, particularly as 2315 has been running daily this past week and is likely to do so through to Monday.
Still, anyone who doesn't like me much has no excuse not to go there now :-)
Regards
Albert

Thanks Brendan.
I am trying to now get clarification that 1198 will be running on Saturday...
It may be that the only CEP in operation at all this weekend will be 2315 up at the EVR!
Also my Outlook Express is having senior moments of its own; I keep getting error messages when trying to refresh the thing.
As for the dates for a HERO meeting, Thanks; I will see which is best for the most people.
Regards
Albert

Albert,I think Bob was having a senior moment about the beer festival! I will check for a date in late October, either Saturday 17th or 24th. I am sure hot drinks can be arranged in the Shepherdswell buffet.Sincerely,Brendan

Hi Brendan.I'm glad Bob's Ok.If I remember right, he told me the BEP was running at the beer festival because it comes with a bar ready built - in the TRBS!Have they been fitting one in the 101?As for October, if we can avoid the weekend of 10-11th it would be helpful.RegardsAlbert----- Original Message -----From: BRENDAN GASHSent: Monday, August 24, 2009 5:31 PMSubject: Re: [EMUPreservationSoc iety] Fw: [SlamdoorPreservati on] CEP weekender!
Albert,Bob's alright. He did say he thought he had mistakenly told someone the Cep was runing this weekend, so that mystery has been solved. The EPB website has been updated since then, I don't know why the date says February.I will chase up regarding an October get together at the EKR,Sincerely,Brendan

Albert,7105 is NOT in use. The EKR Beer festival is in a marquee at Eythorne. The 101 DMMU is providing service all three days. 09 shunter + 5759 is acting as reserve in case of failure. Next EMU event is the EMU Days,Brendan

Here goes folks. All the preserved complete CEPs in action the same weekend!
If someone could please post the timetables of the trains listed below it would be much appreciated.
Saturday 29 August.
1198 from 1100 to 1600 between Furnace Sidings and Whistle Inn. Pontypool & Blaenavon Rly.
2315 from 1100 to 1600 between Warcop and Sandford. Eden Valley Rly.
2325 AKA 7105 special timetable between Shepherdswell and Eythorne. East Kent Rly.
Sunday 30 August.
2325 AKA 7105 special timetable between Shepherdswell and Eythorne. East Kent Rly.
(PBR stock and traction will be vac rake and steam today and tomorrow. - Transport Rally - The thumper 205009 is expected to run at the EVR today)
Monday 31 August.
2315 from 1100 to 1600 between Warcop and Sandford. Eden Valley Rly. We hope 2311 will also make an appearance on this day.
2325 AKA 7105 special timetable between Shepherdswell and Eythorne. East Kent Rly.
Traction.
1198 will be either class 31 or 37 (73128 undergoing works)
2311 and 2315 will be MLVs 9003 and 9005.
2325/7105 will be MLVs 9001/2/8 and possibly the 09.
There is a lot of choice therefore and as the units are far enough apart they each have their own 'catchment area' and will not really be in competition.
Hat being said. I hope to be at PBR Sat, EKR Sun and EVR Mon - shifts at work permitting!
Hopefully will get to meet some of our readers!
Regards to all
Albert
