The Hairy Bikers' Restoration Road Trip featuring Met no. 1 and the May Steam On The Met is on Sunday at 9PM on BBC 2 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01d88x5

Just a reminder that this weekend and next Wednesday is the Buckinghamshire Railway Center's Discover Forgotten Metro-land event. Times of buses from Aylesbury Vale Parkway is on http://www.bucksrailcentre.org/forms/Aylesbury%20Vale%20Parkway%20to%20Quainton%20Road%20Bus%20Service.pdf Pictue of Brill No. 1 from the LTM facebook https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/45239_10151592672979353_1252467558_n.jpg Times for the September SOTM from the LTM ticket site: 10:22 11:32 not Saturday 13:32 not Saturday 15:32 17:32 I'm guessing that the 11:32 & 13:32 on the Saturday will be the staff & VIP trains. I'm also guessing that like the May runs the 10:22 will be Wembley Park to Amersham steam hauled, the 17:32 Amersham to Harrow-On-The-Hill diesel hauled and the rest will be Amersham to Harrow hauled by a diesel and the return by steam.

Details of the September runs are now on the LTM website. Interesting that a model of L94 is being released.
