And so it was John! Photted climbing past Bickley station and going well up the grade. Taken from Blackbrook Bridge where our (myself and @gricerdon ) hobby started many decades ago. When Dad and Mum drove their growing family down a lineside...

If this was a railtour with paying passengers I would understand your argument, but given this is a loco movement back to base then I am afraid time, convenience and money will be the main factors here. I doubt West Coast gave the slightest...

Very quiet start today, but much busier this afternoon - sun seemed to bring everyone out. Still no issue finding a seat, mix of enthusiasts and families. Trains have run like clockwork, great show as always. Hope the figures have added up for a...
