Even the last train up to East Grinstead with 92134 was virtually full, but emptied out for the return, certainly one of the busiest GoS days I've been to for a while. I managed to do round trips behind 71000 and 92134, plus 71000 up to HK and...

34028 Eddystone had plenty of admirers as she powered through Sway in the New Forest en-route to Bournemouth and Swanage. An early morning start from London Waterloo and a run down the South West mainline - a Bulleid at speed in its natural...

Making a very short visit "back home" Eddystone is seen at Creech Bottom just after midday. My photographic manipulation skills do not allow me to change the headboard to "Royal Wessex" from Bournemouth Belle" as it seemed to upset someone. [ATTACH]

I assume you are referring to Blue Pool? Which is a private attraction, hardly a "local park" which costs £9.75 in the summer anyway. Forgetting if the hype around a FS is valid or not, the pricing seems about what other lines charge. I imagine...

Other than starting from Waterloo and using the mainline to and from Woking it is just another Swanage Belle really. With the "added attraction" of 50 minutes at Brockenhurst (at 10C according to the forecast).

A lot of people really do need to understand that the heritage movement is deep deep deep in the mire on almost every level. There is a very real risk of a line folding and I have a short list The hot summer will have killed cash flow with lower...

Only if you ever bother to keep track of what you have gift aided and tell the tax man. I never could be bothered with all that.

That is one of the issues around the way Gift Aid has to work. I guess I am in your camp Steve in that a 10% voucher (in the NYMR instance) would be of no interest, so it just causes a price increase, where of course I would be happy to gift aid...

And presumably gift aid, which the Governments website says they pay out £1.88 billon per year, is subject to the whims of the guy or gal inhabiting No 11 Downing Street. Perhaps around the cost of a medium sized hospital so the politics could be...
