Just to advise that the class 107 DMU is scheduled to be in action at the AVR next week, on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. I will be your friendly guard on the Tuesday.

As I understand it the intention is to operate an hourly service EDIT see Shovel's post below for times!

The other proviso is that we've been having some trouble with the heating on the unit, so there is a small possibility that a 3-car steam-hauled set (which we can actually heat!) may be substituted.

I'll try and keep you posted...

The times for the DMU service are Bitton Dep xx.00;Oldland dep xx.15;
Bitton dep. xx.25; Avon Riverside dep. xx.40
First train departs 11.00 and last train departs 16.00.

As of yesterday afternoon the heating in one car was working very nicely indeed and in the other car tolerably well, so it looks like the DMU service is on for this week barring any mechanical failure.

No toilet just yet but that's making progress too!
