FORTHCOMING EVENTS AND WORKINGS
FOR DFDA STOCK IN 2009

A full list of DFR events can be found on the DFR website

    2009 has a number of 'diesel' dates in the calendar. There are 8 days through the operating year where the "one train in steam" will be worked by one of the diesel fleet, plus three one-day, gala-type events where we'll be running a more intensive service, strictly diesels only. The middle weekend in June will be a mixed traction event, celebrating 200 years of railways in the Forest.

    Event rosters and timetables will be released
    as soon as they become available.
