I was there on Saturday visiting but am a volunteer Station Master at Loughborough. This was one of the busiest galas I’ve sent in ages. Great engines on show.
Gala days on a heritage railway are always busy. Steam engines draw big crowds. Bet you enjoyed capturing half of Betton Grange and half of Foxcote Manor on camera. Betton Grange is awaiting the completion of her own new tender, and is borrowing Foxcote Manor's tender in the meantime. This is right up my alley.
They often do at the GCR working from Loughborough to Rothley inbetween the main steam services to Leicester North. They used to have a short formed set but they seem to prefer the DMU now.
@@yorkshirewanderer6176the DMU service is great as a extra shuttle service between Steams so people have extra options to get where they want. Iris is also very popular too.
Fantastic video! Wish I could go to the GCR someday, Betton grange still looks lovely!
Nice to see some GW on the GC, attending on the Saturday.

I had a great day yesterday there. Good filming.

Can't believe they're running a DMU over the weekend at a steam gala
