railfest 2004

Totally agree - the best railway event I've been to in many a year...

Although to young to remember steam on BR (I'm more into MI) the sight and smell of the B12, K3, O2 and 9F all in BR Black, parked together and in steam was really something else...

If you're remotely unsure about making the trip to York, you won't be disappointed (see my next post above).

As an addition for those thinking of going, we went by rail and I must congratulate virgin railways on the service.

the train was spotless, quiet,automatically reserved seats, on time (both ways), good service from staff, free radio to headphones, dedicated exit from the station to the museum

and all for £18 each return birmingham to york, cheaper than the petrol/parking would have been

makes you want to give up the car

Sounds excellent. Pity I can't make it to York, due to Work commitments. Especially as I was hoping to see the Green Arrow once more - as my Grandfather used to drive it.

No sign of Green Arrow I'm afraid - IIRC it was removed from the NRM by road recently.

Que? I visited The Works, no sign of Green Arrow in there either.

Green Arrow was there in April when I visited minus cab and having firebox work done to get it ready for running this summer I was told

there is a picture on my fotoptics site in the York NRM collection

It was still in a stripped down state on the 24th May, I'll check tomorrow when I'm visting the museum! Cheers Duncan
