It's "diesel gala" really...

Next weekend is the WSR's so-called "Mixed Traction" event, dominated by diesel haulage and diesel enthusiasts.

The general public need to be warned against travelling on anything but the lone steam train.

The WSR need to be more honest and call it a "Diesel Gala" - and if you don't believe me here is the link to the official WSR website page for this event so you can have a look at the pictures and words.

The only mention of steam on that page is "Saturday & Sunday one steam round trip each day"

And also move the event to the Spring or Autumn when steam trains don't usually run.

Pity the poor steam train seeking family who board the first few coaches of a diesel-headed train during this event...
