Engaging with social media, even though it would be nice to think that NP is a cut above most, is a double edged sword where 'helpful' comments are often exactly the opposite. I will be at the Spa for your Prairie at the July Gala. What's not to...

@Jonnie as well as you not being a fool, you and your small team of volunteers run a medium length, wonderful heritage railway that attracts a lot of visitors and gives a very great deal of pleasure. I've not been there for a fairly short...

You think that Jonnie doesn't know that? He doesn't have to publish the figures here for you to (somewhat bizarrely) send to the directors of your railway. Cut the guy some slack, he's doing a great job in very challenging times.

I'm no fool, I've done this for nearly 10yrs and I'm well aware that £14k loss is a loss but when you read constantly in the press about losses equating to hundreds of thousands I thought (wrongly) that some might like to hear that it isn't all...

Not for the Bulleid event, I went for their Diesel Gala and have done since they started back in 2006/2007. Whilst it was impressive to see, I'm very privileged to be able to have driven and fired 34053, 34072 and 34092 at Spa Valley and when...

A bit of an update in the world of Spa Valley. We've had a very busy year so far, albeit compared to some attractions or other railways these figures aren't quite as large. So far this year we've carried 20,596 visitors and that has resulted in...
