    Kidderminster TMD was an incredible investment by the SVR and associated diesel groups and has paid dividends in recent years by providing the SVR with a top notch diesel fleet in enviable condition. But it is also an admission that without those...

    I disagree. I can think of no reason why they would not run a full steam service if they had a fleet of serviceable locos. The intention is there but the fact is that there are no longer the resources available to deliver this. I think that they...
