Thank you Kieran. I am in Grantham that weekend, so will have to get to NNR before end of Sept to see City of Truro and hopefully ride behind it as the last time I actually saw it was back in 1976 and when in Swindon Museum.

The NNR site is now stating that GWR Small Prairie No. 5521 which has recently returned from Poland then been on display at the NRM is listed as operating on the 18th of July. The loco isn't listed on visiting locomotives though. I assume if she is visiting she will attend the gala too.

It's no typo... it should be in Sheringham yard at the moment.

The loco will be attending the gala in September.

The NNR will also be running two demonstration freights on Sundays during their red timetable service during July & August. It is likely these will be hauled by visiting Class 24 No. 24081. There will be two round services starting from Holt at 12:25 & 13:55.
