    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]

    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.

  8. Bob Millard liked 8126's post in the thread Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present.

    When Wadebridge was making some rather syncopated beats a few years ago I seem to recall the culprit was wear in the 3:8 rocking lever pivots, which were accessed by taking up the (concrete) smokebox floor. Not a five minute job to put right....

    [ATTACH] [ATTACH] My belated pictures of the aftermath to that excellent gala. We went on 4th and 5th June as we couldn't make the Gala proper. It's marvellous how the railway kept on their celebrity visitors, and it should have paid as the...

    I'm anxious too as I've booked on it. When I hear I'll post to this site, if no-one beats me to it.

    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.
