We are very pleased to announce the long awaited new Festrail productions, which will be filmed either in September or October. it it is in September, the programme will be filmed at the Superpower Gala, in conjunction with the "Cob 200 Weekend" at the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway. If filmed, in October, we will be covering the Vintage Weekend, which will hopefully run in partnership with the Caernarfon system enabling us to see more of the Ffestiniog fleet operating on the WHR. This programme will be entitled "NRP Steam Special: Festrail Steam".

This weekend sees the launch of GWR Steam Railmotor No.93 at Didcot Railway Centre, Oxfordshire. the restoration began in 1998 and was completed in April this year. The railmotor will operate on the main demonstration line alongside a selection of diesel rail cars this weekend courtesy of Chiltern Rail.
On 11th June, Didcot will play host to A1 Peppercorn Pacific No.60163 "Tornado". She will be operating on the Demonstration Line alongside No.93 and possibly GWR "King" No.6023 "King Edward II". Sadly, we cannot make the event due to commitments at the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway on the day. We will of course, keep you posted with the latest news from Didcot.
