    For once the SMT woke up and realised despite what they thought,that a castle that has worked at plenty of lines in recent years isn’t a rock star or justify premium fares ? Nice to see steam locos ( plural) in use at the of the season after...

    So were the professional fundraisers responsible for the two failed bids for Br.42 money and how much did that cost the Railway? And, if not, who was responsible for them? The PLC or the Trust?
