These are the public running dates of the various 'Thumper' units. Although we look at the various railway websites with operational units, we also rely upon them to notify us of unit running dates so can help have a single point of reference where people can see and plan any visits accordingly. After all, any additional passenger revenue can only be good.
2016
We will add additional unit running dates as soon as we receive them
(from the relevant railway or having spotted details on their website)
