    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.

    Keep up the good work Jonnie. Your attitude towards communication is refreshing!

    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...

    As 34072 is based at Tunbridge Wells West, we're not paying for it to come and go. The same if for example the Class 33 goes away on hire or when the Jinty last operated.

    This is how it should sound, they need someone who understands how to set Mr Bulleid's chain drive valve gear! [MEDIA]

    Yep. That smokebox could have harmed that tender behind even though the loco hasn't got a tender behind. :)

    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...

    A fairly noisy climb with Tangmere on a returning Scarborough Flyer when they ran from Crewe some years ago, 2012 if I recall. [MEDIA]

    One more, probably my favourite. I was leaning out of the window of the first carriage (and I’m still alive). [MEDIA]
