Saturday 1st March will see locomotive no. 7903 Foremarke Hall gently easing out of Toddington Station on the first of hundreds of journeys over the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway's 10-mile line to Cheltenham Race Course during 2008. 

This is the first day of the railway's latest season, following a two-month break for maintenance to track, locomotives and rolling stock.  The first departure is at 10.30, to the green timetable - an alternate steam and diesel service.  This timetable operates over every weekend of March, except for the Easter holiday weekend which is the all-steam red timetable.  On Sunday 2nd March there will be two steam locomotives operating - the National Railway Museum's centenarian no. 3440 City of Truro will be in charge of the first Elegant Excursions dining train, especially for Mothering Sunday. 

And throughout March - including Easter - kids go free!  Youngsters aged 5 to 15 can save their pocket money provided each one takes with them a fare-paying adult or senior citizen.
