That's a shame as it's a very interesting vehicle, though I do wonder if it is suitable for the NYMR. Geographically speaking it's very much in keeping but visitors to the line mostly come to enjoy steam and expect it to be provided. It also...

I'm puzzled by the fact that no-one seems to be able to reveal where the KWVR obtained the spare boiler now about t5o be used for the Dean Goods new build. Surely someone from the KWVR ought to be able to say now? I'm envious as, personally, I...

I come back to this thread with an increasingly heavy heart having just enjoyed reading (something you can't say about the totally uninspiring Moorsline these days) the excellent monthly Bluebell Times, produced and edited by our very own Tom...

I think that I think that is probably a fair summation of the likely situation, (we hear mention of the "gang of four", who seem to be the driving force; in terms of the fares fiasco, for instance, the CFO should have provided better guidance )...

Honestly, NYMR's management need to see how the railway is viewed. .... but you are asking the management to do an honest self-assessment of their own performance, and act upon it. At the very best, I feel that (however urgently desirable) is...

The trouble is that we're told that the NYMR's senior managers are reported to not ready Social Media, this news (if true, of course) will go completely unrecognised by hem. One might hope that their attention might be drawn to the post by...

Railway Herald has a feature suggesting that Peak Rail is considering full line reinstatement options. I'm not a subscriber so don't know any more but I would like to hear more! There doesn't seem to be anything elsewhere on the internet, so...
