There are all sorts of possibilities when one starts to look at them - for instance I have been reading a book on folklore and mythology in England (well, skimming through it, actually) and have already found one that relates to the Whitby area -...

Just booked on the Darlington - Edinburgh Tornado trip, looking forward to it immensely. Times and GUV should get us a great trip. Can see a Planet Hollywood meal and a couple of pop's, during the stop over, being taken. First trip, since just...

I don't think anyone is suggesting the Ffestiniog / WHR model is directly transferable to the NYMR, however, there are lessons to be learnt from what they have done (as also my Strathspey case study). It is all about maximising use of resource,...

I doubt if the Ffestiniog model is adaptable to the NYMR or most standard gauge heritage lines. Take the WHR out of the equation completely and just think about the FR: off the top of my head there are five passing loops on a thirteen-mile line....
