This year sees at least another 3 “FIRSTS”! :-

* The visit of the ex-GWR locomotive King Edward II during June&July.

* Running KE II in parallel with 0-6-0 Pannier Tank 9466 in a steam gala on a 2 train service in July.

* The weekend visit of a High Speed Train during May.


Further to a recent confirmation received from the Commercial Director of East Midlands Trains, the Mid Norfolk Railway is pleased to announce an additional ‘home fleet’ diesel gala on the weekend of 14/15th May 2011, themed around ‘Drags and Rescues’.

As part of the event on the Saturday, East Midlands Trains have kindly agreed to run a High Speed Train set to the railway as an additional charter service. This will be run in aid of their chosen charity ‘The Railway Children’. Route, timings and prices for this will be available in due course.

Many of the types of locos based on the Mid-Norfolk Railway have been involved in last minute rescues, diversions and drags when things go wrong and this event celebrates the rich history of this type of operation.

From class 37-hauled DMUs to a class 73 hauling a failed EMU on the Southern Region, there will be something for everyone during this event with perhaps a few surprises in the wings.

Further details for the gala (prices, timings, loco rosters, etc) will be released when available on the MNR’s website.
