    Thanks for the update. It looks like the issue is with the Diesel operating the positioning move as the earlier move for this from Burton Wetmore didn't happen even though it was activated.

    That schedule does not show a reversal anywhere. Moves like this do go around the houses. 'Back in the day' (old man reminiscence alert :D) I was asked to ride with the driver of a Hampshire unit on its delivery from Eastleigh Works to Selhurst...

    Think somebody is getting rather carried away here. Post#7621 is the clue here, 31128 will be hauling 31210 and 3417 , hence the rather long haulage to the Mid Hants, makes sense to me. I have to say I have only ever heard of Eastern region...

    Going by recent posts on Facebook there are some last minute additions to the line up for the forthcoming Diesel Gala. There will be a Class 66, 66613 attending on Friday only. A Class 31 is hauling one of the main line movements. The formation...

    I have every sympathy with @Big Al’s views, I wouldn’t want to be shoved around in a coffin by a diesel with an asthmatic figurehead up front. However, my solution is simple - I save my money and no longer book any tour that involves WCRC.

    To be clear, I had good company on the train yesterday and up to the return debacle at York things were handled well especially the unseen train movements and servicing at Morpeth from an arrival on the down line to the departure, still...
