Due to the sustained hot weather, lack of rain and, increased fire risk, the GWSR have taken the step to suspend steam running for this week, at least. This has been taken in consultation with the Fire Service and the HRA.
This means that the diesel fleet will take up the slack and operate all services this week (except the PINK timetable on Tuesday 9th). The services will operate under the GREEN timetable - this is the same as the PINK but with two diesels. We also have the RED timetable on the Sunday which is one diesel and the DMU.
