Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 2nd June 2024

Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 2nd June 2024
The GCR tried a new event this weekend running trains continuously overnight Saturday to Sunday. I was rostered to sign on at 04.00am on BR Standard 5 4-6-0 73156.

We headed the 05.00 Loughborough to Leicester North service . On our return we went on shed where I serviced the loco cleaning the fire & emptying the ashpan.

After rebuilding the fire we still had 2 hours before our next train at 09.30. This gave me time for breakfast on the shovel. The bacon had already been cooked & consumed and was followed by sausages. All very tasty & fried in a jiffy.

Looks and sounds good! It's 10C with 1C wind chill here now.

How well are the night runs patronised? We expect to lose some summer running due to fire weather conditions but night runs may be possible.

And inventing a new feature, belated Happy Sausage Sunday...

Our summer has been rubbish so far! 15-16C isn't great but looking better next week.
I heard we sold 250 seats for the overnight trains which certainly made money for us. It was the first time the railway tried it and will no doubt do it again.
I like that new feature! HSS!
