Okay, the railway does seem to be heading back in the right direction but it would be interesting to know how it got here from not so long ago needing £5 million in external funding at a rate of £1m a year to being back on track without any of...

If you want a late Summer break to 'Sunny Tunny' as us locals call it (we're not all that posh really, despite the whole Royal name etc) then 31st August the Caley is celebrating her 125th birthday so subject to all being well you'll get a more...

Ian Monkton liked JBTEvans's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
While there aren’t as many vehicles in traffic as there was in say 2018, there’s enough to run the timetable of today and surely that’s all that really matters? It seems to me after the SDR incident, there’s far more scrutiny of what carriages...

Sheff liked Johnb's post in the thread Tornado.

Sheff liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Tornado.
I have zero interest in Tornado as a loco I want to photo and /or travel behind. But I have been concerned enough about the impact on all those working on and /or funding it and/or wanting to enjoy the loco running again, to be rather unsettled...
