    Decided to book one of the Shakespeare trips with 60103 - despite being much more expensive compared to a standard Shakespeare, its much better value than the shorter trips which are diesel one way. Also still significantly cheaper than any other...

    7029 has another 3 years @Michael Whitehouse confirmed earlier in the thread that it will get the required replacement of the small tubes and inspection of the flue tubes after 7 years on the mainline as part of the winter maintenance.

    I believe this is to become more the norm as things progress. Certainly encouraging

    First two Fellmans trips have been updated to show Blue Peter as the rostered locomotive. Very unusual for Saphos to publicly put a loco down on their website, I assume this will become the norm for the trips where Standard Class is available...

    I may attend this gala but won’t be travelling. May I suggest that any photographers do what I do and make a donation at least equivalent to the cost of a day rover ticket. If we all did it over the four days it wouldn’t raise a fortune but could...

    84030 as well. There are a variety of teams and funding sources involved though, and different projects progressing at different stages - hopefully we'll see 541 this year, but 21c123 is I suspect a long way off. Personally, I'm waiting for the...

    No that is not the case. The problem with the bridge was known about and I understand that plans were in place to deal with it. However it has since been overtaken by events. I have heard that part of the problem is the increased rate of river...

    [ATTACH] I think this sums up the current situation, taken from the staff newsletter dated 12/1/26. It seems that we need to be patient while the assessment is carried out but there is a promise that we will be kept informed as things progress....

    What you’ve written is basically it. Due to the bridges condition no train movements are currently permitted over it. What the plan is going forward is not yet known to us outside the privileged few and may not even be known to them.

    Very nice. I think I'll definitely book on the Newquay one, as I've never done the Newquay branch loco-hauled. I was booked on the Pathfinder one, but it never happened as the new signalling they were installing on the branch wasn't ready in...

    Sorry, that's ridiculous - do these promoters talk to each other?! This trip was a Pathfinder favourite and they have clearly cherry picked following their departure and jumped on the band waggon. - will be amazed if they all run. The diesel...

    That's it in a nutshell, Tom. Great days. You can tell how cold it was as unusually he wasn't wearing his customary all weather shorts:) Thanks Alan, I glad you enjoyed it. Certainly plenty of time to take pictures. Peter
