The BBC-1 Land Girls starring locomotive no. 5542 - back from its visit to the Chinnor & Princess Risborough Railway - will be putting in an appearance over coming days.  And it is in period costume! 

Indeed, the railway has very much a 'Great Western' theme with plenty of polished copper and brass in evidence.  5542 is working this coming Thursday to the Blue Timetable.  Remember that trains to this timetable stop by request at Gotherington Halt so if it's fine, take your local OS map and go for a walk - there are some splended footpaths locally, some offering magnificent views of the railway.  The last return service from Toddington will be in the charge of class 37 diesel 37324. 

Over the Red timetable weekend of 12th and 13th September, 5542 and 7903 Foremarke Hall will both be in action, while 7903 will be working again on Thursday 17th September, with class 37 diesel no. 37215 handling the final service of the day.

On Friday 18th September, Foremarke Hall will be giving six lucky people the Steam Locomotive Footplate experience of a lifetime!

Over the following weekend, 19th and 20th September, 7903 and 5619 (fresh from its visit to the Bodmin & Wenford Railway) will be working, and on Sunday, 5542 will the third engine in steam as Foremarke Hall takes the Elegant Excursions dining train.  Sunday 20th is being billed as 'Land Girls' day so turn up in 1940s period costume, if you dare!

There will be no public services on the railway on 8th, 9th, 11th, 14-16th or 19th September.
