Im in the area at the moment, for most of the week the backdrop has been smoke from a smouldering Cairngorms, clearly visible from Aviemore station itself and all along the line from the train. The road through Glenmore and up to Cairngorm...

Not quite. The trial will prove the sustainability really. If it’s a success that makes the right ammount of money then it can be looked at from a more paid staff type operation which of course is a game changer. I think it will be well patronised

I think some credit ought to be given that the way this has been set up and the due diligence done means it is financially worthwhile for the railway . Gus and all involved will have taken a very measured approach to this trial and the potential...

Not sure what the SVR will do when 7714 is withdrawn from traffic! ;)

I must admit, almost every other heritage railway is clear about which services will be diesel hauled, both pre-planned and short notice, be it for fire risk or failures. Most publish a loco roster at least a week in advance...

You yourself liked the post by @MikeParkin65 whose family '..got fed up with the prospect of ‘a dirty blue diesel’ being more likely to be at the head of their train than a steam engine.' If now isn't high fire risk when would be? My post...

I worded my post carefully, the NYMR should be leading on the steam ban (and therefore communicating this). The last goodness knows how many pages are about a steam loco shortage - to me, in the current conditions that's irrelevant. I am...

How will 60163 even get to the railway with a 'Black' steam ban in place? She scooted it back to Darlington early from Nene Valley, before it came into effect.

A friend used to live in a house that had won an architectural award. It demonstrated that winning awards and fitness for purpose are not necessarily correlated.

I am sorry, oil firing aside, I can not see any justification for running a steam loco over the moors until there is a very good amount of rain. People can be disappointed all they like, but setting a SSSI on fire and endangering life is...

Fantastic visit to Rail Ale Trail yesterday, hopefully another big success for the CVR. It was clear the new marquee at Cheddleton was a big success. Although the bar capacity seemed to struggle a bit. It certainly felt a little busier than...

Given the very public place the incident took place, avoiding speculation seems an extremely unlikely and futile expectation. Early realisation of this and an attempt to control narrative by releasing the facts (however brief), would seem to be...
