This will be the first time that Mayflower has hauled services on the heritage railway and will only happen over the gala.

Joining 61306 Mayflower will be LNWR Coal Tank No. 1054, with more yet to be announced.
The gala will take place between the 3rd and 6th May 2024, with Mayflower visiting thanks to Locomotive Services Group and Locomotive 61306 Ltd.

Fantastic can’t wait to see it. Hope it is one Engine of many
Can’t wait all prepared to see this weekend of steam plus with an LSL charter and a class 37 charter on the same day running down a stones throw away in Taunton. 2 LSL steam and more, what more could you want!
Brilliant, lets hope I can make it.
