Pope-ex specials
Over the late Spring Bank Holiday 1982, in addition to
the usual extra traffic normally expected, unprecedented numbers of people
were expected to travel to a number
of major events in connection with
the first ever visit to the UK of the Pope (John Paul II).
The first of several planned pages featuring these trains

while the Cardiff area workings are detailed on a Where Were You ? page for Wednesday 2nd June 1982 .
Dragging in East Anglia, while not unknown, was maybe
not as common place or as well reported as Drag's in other areas.

gives some details.

We are planning a series of pages detailing the summer dated
holiday trains with loco diagrams and booked power. These pages
will also feature lings to Service listings where available.
These pages take a few hours to reserach, so it will be awhile before
all the planned pages are completed, however, the following pages are
online:
1980's Cambrian Turns & 1980's Skegness Turns .
