An important date for the diary – FRIDAY 16th AUGUST 2024!!
During 2024 both 37215 and D6948 will have their 60th birthdays and so, with the support of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, The Growler Group is pleased to announce a feature running day on the above date. We will be operating a timetable giving three round trips of the line enabling 84 miles of English Electric noise! On the train, we will have our Growler Group sales stand selling a range of new merchandise, as well as some secondhand items, and a bar selling a variety of real ales. There will also be a raffle with a chance to win a cab ride on one of the locos. Stick the date in your diary, take the day off work, book a B&B and come and share in the festivities!
Ticket prices will be slightly different to normal GWSR prices and will only be available from our new webstore (this is not a GWSR event and tickets will not be on the GWSR website). The weblink is https://thegrowlergroup.square.site/s/shop and tickets will be available shortly. Prices will be:
Adult (GG members, membership number will be required when booking) – £20
Adult (non- GG members) – £25
Children (5-15 years of age) – £10
Children under 5 – £Free
Your continued support will safeguard the continued running of these iconic locomotives. Don’t forget, as well as the new sales website above, the group also has a Ebay page where a number of secondhand items are listed for sale.
