  1. cymroglan liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread [Jun 7, 2024] Strictly Bulleid 2 7th-9th of June at Swanage Railway (Swanage Railway).

    Other than that the loco will arrive at Southall facing west and needs to turn somewhere to face London at Swanage. If not Southampton then it would have to be T/F all the way from Southall via I guess CJ and Staines. It hopefully points to...

    I give you what impact it has had on the Nene Valley Railway - cancelled twice now, will those visitors or participants on various charters, driving experiences, whatever, will they hope "third time lucky" or just give up?

  3. cymroglan liked John Petley's post in the thread [Jun 7, 2024] Strictly Bulleid 2 7th-9th of June at Swanage Railway (Swanage Railway).

    Logically, everything points to a steam-hauled ECS working - the hour at Southampton UGL where it says "service loco runs round here" plus that fact that every available space in the vicinity of Swanage station is going needed to handle six...

    Principally a few typo alterations, and adding a loco to the rear of an Up train that miraculously appeared at the River Bridge previously. I blame the two-day complete re-write without the chance of proof-reading!

  9. Shep Woolley liked alastair's post in the thread Saphos 2024.

    Why the curious assumption that "true steam enthusiasts"are only be interested in travelling standard class? There are quite a few "well heeled" and "diner" enthusiasts I can assure you.

    The vegetation issue is now that big that I don't think NR can get on top of it. The issue in my view has its origins in the early days of privatisation, when cost cutting within Railtrack was rife. Vegetation maintenance was an easy one to drop...

  12. Hirn liked daveannjon's post in the thread P2 Locomotive Company and related matters.

    When I decided not to renew my Patriot Project membership and explained I was unhappy with the move to Tyseley I very quickly received an email from their chairman, it didn’t change my mind but credit to them for responding with alacrity.
