    What insurance do you think would pay the claim? Workmanship is not generally insured. Professional Indemnity IF there was some by the relevant party, and IF the work was negligent. (This, btw, is why doing too much in house is a risk - if you...

    I do not know the answer to your questions, in fact I am unfamiliar with the bridges. However you make the "solutions options" sound so simple. Have you ever tried getting liquidated damages back on a contract that has one. Or getting an...

    I think the general idea is that 30053,120 and 563 will be used fairly evenly in future. 120 and 53 are both very capable of running everything we do, but 563 is harder work on a 5 coach train. Very capable engine but you have to be realistic,...

    I assume the past 3 days have been SLL days. Manston looked very good with its three coach train, a sort of Southampton to Bournemouth stopper (apart from the branch headcode). Also the new shed resident. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    Does it need 5? My own "loco roster" shows that for 2024/25 and this year there have been 4 and in 2023 only 3. This number disregarding any "hangovers" from a gala for a week or two. Even this year there was only ever planned to be 3 weeks of a...

    Whilst I do agree the Bluebell has a plan, personally from someone who has worked under the sort of financial control mentioned there I would say it is a big leap to "have formulated a plan to deal with it without cutting essential expenditure on...

    From the CEO: We’re delighted to announce that our old friend GWR Collett 56xx class no. 6695 will be returning to Swanage Railway this week for the final stages of its repair work! We’re hoping to have the opportunity to run this lovely...

    One assumes not, and it would appear that folks are on the same page of the playbook unlike some lines we could name. However the sale and lease back of 34059 to the trust seems to me strange as they are not to me "a third party" and the...
