Bluebell Railway Giants of Steam 2018

After a year absence in 2017 due to similar 'End of Southern Steam' style events taking place earlier in the year, Giants of Steam returned as an event to the Bluebell Railway's 2018 Calendar. This year there was a distinctive LNER theme to the guests, however their two strong Eastern Lineup was reduced to one after it was announced B1 61306 'Mayflower' would not be able to attend the gala.
