Mid Hants Railway - 5th March, 1995
The second day of this event. The gala was billed as a make or break for diesel events thanks the increasing costs of getting visitors in - all the visitors arrived in one convoy from the Midland Railway Centre to save costs. However, the weather conspired against the organisers, with snow north of London deterring many from travelling, meaning the event still lost oney, and as a result there was not another gala here for some time. To add insult to imjury, after the event 40012 was deemed unfit to travel back to Butterley due to bogie cracks, and was strande for some time until a one way ticket was agreed! Mainly 55015s workings noted, as I was secondman and therefore rather occupied :)
