    Eastern Rail Services stock I believe. I am guessing an issue with Rail Adventure's new steam charter license, real shame.

    Its horrific and hope all involved are getting the support they need/deserve. Such things are becoming depressingly common on the railway at the moment and I suppose by the law of averages it was inevitable that a steam locomotive would be...

    My heart goes out to everyone involved in this, such a terrible thing to have happened. Hope the driver, fireman and support crew all get the support they need after all this.

    First items of stock on road 2 at the carriage shed today. Road 1 on the right will now be extended a short distance to the rear. This will allow us to fit 5 x MK1 in the shed and therefore keep the service set under cover every night.

    The combination of sunshine breaking through the mist proved too elusive. At Danzey it was evident before and after the location but that was the most I saw of it all day. Well done those who found the sun. Blakedown, Danzey and after dark at...
