Eastleigh: Opening day sold out already

摘要

As we closed for press with less than a month to go, the Eastleigh Works Centenary event of May 23-25 was heading towards a sell-out. During April, all pre-allocated tickets for the opening day on Saturday sold out, but there are still advance tickets for Sunday and bank holiday Monday, and organisers were recommending those as the council car parks are free on those days. Over the three-day event, it is expected that more than 10,000 visitors will attend, attracted by more than 50 steam, diesel and electric locomotives. See the souvenir programme presented with this issue for details.
