davidcarbonis liked acorb's post in the thread Tornado.
Here, here.. Finally some words of reason on this thread. When it does return to the mainline, hopefully one or two will pipe down a bit. Whilst I would be the first to admit this latest overhaul has been appalling managed, I still can't wait...

Nevertheless, and without saying anything about the problems with the A1, it's a difficult time for independents. Which TOC do you sign to? Whose coaching stock do you utilise? How much control can you retain? The whole game has changed...

From KESR Facebook page... "After a brief holiday in Devon Marcia is returning home. For the last 61 years the 101-year-old locomotive – one of the smallest operational standard gauge locomotives in the UK – has called the Kent & East Sussex...

I think that provided that there are no restrictive structures and the line side is maintained the risk is low until the person gets to their waist. I am not a guard, but I have twice halted my train and walked back to have a few choice words...

pete12000 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Doors and Droplights.

jamesd replied to the thread WCR 2024 Railtours.
