    Considering the heat and associated problems that the organisers and staff have had to deal with this weekend, today's timetable appears to have been well received. After hearing of the poor health of a crew member yesterday, it was imperative...

    Many thanks for all the clips. Living in a sealed unit at the back of a train all day doesn't give you much opportunity to know what on earth is going on up front so any external view is welcome. The couple on the table where I was remarked just...

    Clearly you are not someone with first hand experience of dementia. I hope for your sake you don't ever experience it first hand - if you do you will realise just how insensitive your remark is. Fortunately the police did realise the potential...

    Obviuosly not a loved one of yours who’d gone missing. The family of the missing gentleman would have wanted maximum effort expended in finding him and looks like the police delivered. And dementia sufferers can be a lot more than just “confused”.

    I spent a very long day traveling down and back to the Cotswold Festival of Steam on Saturday 23rd May 2026, and with limited time there I had planned all my day out, until I got there at about 10 am and found the timetable all gone west by the...

    Thanks Seb, you know the pain it creates only too well! Every possible issue and then some was thrown at us yesterday including one that you just couldn't imagine. Police holding and boarding trains looking for an elderly gentleman with dementia...

    I really do feel for the team there this weekend. What a rotten bit of luck. I really do hope that passengers have a bit of understanding.... Knowing some members of the Gala Team at the GWSR, they put so much effort into the event and really...

    I attended yesterday and as always, thoroughly enjoyed the busy timetable despite timings goings astray. I tend to apply a mindset that a challenging timetable is always likely to meet with a few hiccups and to not get overly stressed and...

    A day of many trials today. Not really things that putting a little more slack into the timetable would really solve either. We'll have another go tomorrow. Thank you for the positive comments despite everything, it really does mean a lot to...
