Hi peeps.
I was told about a week ago about a do that is taking place at the NRM where the 4 remaining A4 class locomotives in Gt. Britain are getting together at the NRM.
And I was shocked to find that they are going to charge £32.50 to be able to get into the area where they will be stabled.
Not only that you can also buy tickets for over a ton so you can have a meal and some home made fudge...
Now come on is it me or does this stink a little of being a total ripoff. I mean a friend is going to Long Marston for a last hurrah for the class 87's this weekend and he has said it is only costing 15.00 to get in and not only that there will be other locos about to view.
I know the 87's aren't on the same level as the beautiful A4's but surely they could have dropped the price a little so that the mere mortal and normal enthusiast could also behold the majesty of them all in the same place at the same time.
Right that is my winge and I shall now get off my soapbox.
I would appreciate any comments or thoughts from the rest of you about this.
