    Here is a short video I captured yesterday of Class 31 Charybdis returning the 4-vep unit 3417 from the Watercress Line to her home at Strawberry Hill. I ventured near to the site of Farnham Junction which was part of the old Tongham branch. Turn...

    Can’t ’Like’ that but it does force home to me that the many concurring views on here really do have substance and that change is long overdue.

    I was just providing an answer to your query where the article doesn't! When the 'journalist' can't even get the day of the incident correct then I wouldn't give much time to the rest. As someone delayed by several hours on the VT Liverpool trip...

    It comes across a bit sloppy to me. For example (and ignoring the points raised by others): An insider suggested that the cost of the delays would be almost £300,000, with the taxpayer picking up the vast majority of that. OK, fair enough. But...

    However, back to the situation, I can't see any relief for a long time yet. Speaking as an amateur weather watcher it seems that we are more and more often experiencing long, warm, dry spells, even in early spring when they are less obvious. We...

  7. green five liked 2857Harry's post in the thread Fire Risk.

    All in all I’d say what a load of b**locks that article is! “The engine, Black Five No.44871, was being towed by a diesel locomotive – meaning its boiler did not need to be fired up for the 70-mile journey” - Well that’s incorrect. It needed to...

    I can’t imagine anybody of sound mind expecting steam to run right now.

  11. green five liked Big Al's post in the thread RTC 2026.

    In this kind of weather, fires in vegetation can start spontaneously, even through the magnifying effect of sunlight through glass. If something happened after the passing of 44871 then that's a tricky one but only an indicator. Either way,...
