Two seprate timetables on the KWVR Leslie. The steam is running for pre-booked passengers and the DMU shuttling back and forth all day. If John gets a day rover ticket he won't need to get off at all, there's a 3 minute turnaround at each end of the line each trip, meanwhile the steam is going in the opposite direction. http://www.kwvr.co.uk/santaspecials.html

Are you sure that the 20,000 punters is one days worth? Most galas at places like the SVR only have about 6000 over a three day weekend, 20,000 sounds like the Santa season total to me.

Regards, 62440.

The Time table Looks as though there will be two DMUs in Use most probably the 101 & the Single Car as I think the 108 is in for much needed refurbishment.
