If anyone want to know the reason that I have been told, which has had a bearing on the matter, PLEASE E MAIL or PM me.

Officially the open day has been postponed until summer 2011 , low advance ticket sales
being the reason

[DudleyStation]

I looked at it earlier in the year but to expensive which could be the reason for the low ticket sales

[Arran]

Mabye they bump down the ticket price then they will probally get some sold then

[colchesterken]

I do not see how they can base cancelling it on advance ticket sales
I was going but cannot be sure which day is better for me I was going to decide at the last moment and just go
very disappointing as I have been to all previous open days and in view of the impending relocation of the depot .I would have been a good last visit

An absolute shambles, less than a month to go and they pull the plug, they say low ticket sales, but then they say it will be a logistical nightmare getting everyone who HAS paid, a refund......well it should not be that hard if there has been low sales !!!!!!!

A shambles...not only for the oridinary punter like you and me, but also for the stall holders, (90plus) I am led to believe,then there is the other exhibitors, locos being brought in, no doubt road transport arranged etc etc.

I will give it serious thought before getting interested in any future attraction at that location.

BUT I happen to know the real reason , not for putting on this board though, I think too much about this great forum and I dont want it involved in any way.

Was looking forward to having a nose round Wolverton. Not sure if I'll book next time as it might get cancelled again. Just waiting for refund now!!

Typical of industry dont they realise a lot of people would have turned up on the day I was going but not sure which day.The Cleyton was going from Chinnor will they be reinbursed for their outlay for transport etc.The specials also took a lot of organising what a waste
