Trevor Page - In immaculate Great Eastern blue livery, with a Stratford white cab roof, the Jl5 runs downhill towards Weybourne crewed by ladies from three different railways.

On 23rd May, the North Norfolk Railway held a Ladies' Day similar to the event held on the Kent & East Sussex Railway in 1986. In use were the Great Eastern Railway Jl5 0-6-0 and Hunslet 0-6-0ST Ring Haw, supported on early and late services by a diesel railbus. Rebecca Bradbury travelled to Sheringham to represent Buckinghamshire Railway Centre and, during June, Janice Uphill flew the flag at the Dean Forest Railway's own celebration.
