Thumbs up Spa Valley summer steam visitor

The Spa Valley Railway has announced a steam visitor for the summer season - Andy Booth's ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway A class (BR class 27) No.52322.
The L&YR 0-6-0 is set to be visiting the Tunbridge Wells-Eridge line from May-August 2018, with the first operating day being Saturday May 5th.
52322 will share the steam services with resident RSH 0-6-0ST No.62 'Ugly', alongside diesel services. Both steam locos should be working over the May Bank Holiday weekend (5-7 May) and also during the Summer Steam Festival (30 June/1 July), the latter also sees the railway play host to a large gathering of steam road vehicles.
Apart from these weekends, I expect the railway to operate only one of the steam locos (usually with one of the diesels) - keep an eye on the loco roster!
