Diesel engines are no longer a common sight hauling passenger services on mainline railways and are increasingly important on the railway preservation scene.

Standard fares and day rover tickets available.

Hopefully the weather will improve before then.

As tempting as it really is, I'm going to be down on the Sussex Coast that day. Got an interview in Bognor Regis, so I can't go on this one. I plan to be there next year though!

Another fantastic day of diesel traction at Bo'ness. The sun didn't quite play ball all day but none the less a very enjoyable day.

Time to dry out on the outside and get wet on the inside. Smile

An excellent day out and my thanks to all those at Bo'ness who work so hard to put this event on for us.

Highlight of the day was the triple header on the final run of the day.

Looks like a heck of a gala! Plenty of variety. Cool

This is my favourite, as it brings back memories of my holiday based in Edinburgh in the 1960's. They were used in pairs on many trains.
