Locomotive roster
article by: webmaster
Updated Sunday 14 March 2010
Welcome to the Locomotive Roster. The new season starts on
6th March and it's going to be a busy year, with new
locomotives coming on stream and with the GWR175 celebrations
taking place. Scroll down for the Locomotive Roster for
the final two days of the season, current status of steam and
status diesel locomotives.
Apologies to the gentleman who travelled to Toddington
specifically to see 7903 Foremarke Hall on Saturday 13th March - a
last-minute change in the roster meant that 5542 was operating that
day instead.
