    Even so, change happens quite quickly. A year ago, if you had told me there would only be three unassisted steam trips on the main line (Jacobite aside) in the first half of '24, I wouldn't have believed it. And we don't really know what...

    Another spectacular 5043 performance as it headed the Mersey Express today; once again full marks to all at Tyseley for another unassisted run with 47773 on the rear just making the Earl even louder...footage outbound from Clive Green just south...

    Unfortunately nowadays the enthusiast market it very small. I work at two different heritage railways and at both the enthusiast passenger figures are very small. We are talking 10-15% at the very most of the yearly figures. Even when we host...
