The Gricing Owl liked ikcdab's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
That does sound rather odd - dare I say disorganised. What with planned maintenance, number of steaming days and boiler washouts, the roster needs to be planned some time in advance. And even if things do go to rats and the plan changes, with a...

hyboy liked Jamessquared's post in the thread 567 Victorian 4-4-0 New Build.

hyboy liked 5944's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
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...

hyboy liked Fireline's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
While I take some of your points, I think you are over simplifying things. While our steam availability was low, something as simple as a broken spring, found by the driver on checking after the loco has long since been lit up, has necessitated...

hyboy liked Fireline's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
