Good point. We went today (Friday) and after waiting about 20 mins in
the pouring rain decided to get a taxi (£8 to Barrow Hill, but amongst
5 of us not too bad). 

Good festival - a good choice of beers and surroundings reminiscent of
(but not quite as good as) the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. I
loved the pseudo but very realistic smoke drifiting out of one of the
loco's chimneys!
