  1. 35B liked 26D_M's post in the thread Northern Belle 2026.

    Well the booking terms quite prominently say steam isn't guaranteed and if a diesel has to be substituted a refund of £30 per person will be issued. This amounts to around 2% as a "steam premium". Having travelled, the only way one would know a...

  2. 35B liked Steve's post in the thread Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.

    I’ve just had a quick look on their website and find some of the headline fares being quoted are quite misleading. For instance this coming weekend there is a Bluey event and train fares are advertised as ‘from £2.12’. That sounds like a real...

    The problem with that argument is that it neglects what has happened at Embsay. Step back from the traction and rolling stock, which I agree is heritage friendly, and you have the realisation of the experience led, booked party model, that you...

  7. 35B liked andy1571's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    Having not been for years, I thought I’d venture (with some trepidation, given the general tone of this thread!) to the NYMR today. First, a very big caveat - I am as happy with a Black Five at the head of the train as I am with a 37, but I...
