This, of course, is exactly what I did last year.  I called up before
announcing the event and checked that the trains would be running and was
assured that although there were works planned for that weekend, everything
would be running as usual from 9am on Sunday.  It wasn't until a couple of
days before the event that someone pointed out here that there were no
trains running on the day.  I actually made a formal complaint to
Railtrack... did I get a response?  Yeah, right...
