It's a bit more complicated than that perhaps. 200+disappointed passengers are more likely to spread word of their disappointment by social media than the 6 more privileged ones. I don't know how often the D/Ex runs take place either on a day...

Well, you understood what I intended! I have seen the term "Footex" used in the footplate experience context elsewhere, and I've personally got zero interest in the game of loutish tribalism I thought it was OK to us here!

But it would seem it is taking the risk by using it on Footex workings! In the past diesels have been used to pilot steam locos from Goathland to Levisham through the area of highest fire risk, and I don't recall there being any issues then.

I know that some people say I'm always carping on about the NYMR management but, to me, using 29 on footex duties seems to be risking p****ing off trainloads of paying customers to pander to a few. Would it not have been better to use 29 top and...

A couple (or three) of key differences I feel the need to point out.... 1. The NYMR has demand for more operating days but cut them back as they weren't/aren't keeping up with infrastructure maintenance. The more trains they run the quicker they...

It is my understanding that copper fireboxes are less suitable for oil burning. it wears them out faster than steel. In pre-Nationalisation/BR days when there were plenty of spare engines and spare boilers around and there was much larger works...

I suspect that it will be a long time before the NYMR has two oil fired locos. I can't see 3672 being finished before 2253 is due to be withdrawn for overhaul. The only hope might be if the owners of 34101 could be persuaded to add it to the...
