On Saturday 4th August 2018 the GCR began its two weekend celebration of the last days of main-line steam on BR tracks. With persistent hot dry conditions, the Railway must be congratulated for putting together a busy timetable and ensuring that three steam locomotives could work normally between Leicester and Rothley. It was very enjoyable and, despite a couple of silly details with headcodes and headboards, a real triumph for the GCR. Thank you very much.
