And of course FS is only 66 mile away this week (or slightly less if you are prepared to pay for the ferry), so that have may come into play as well. It appears most of those 1 hour trips were close to a sell out.

It appears that all of the Halloween events on the MHR are not selling well unfortunately. Still plenty of tickets left for all dates. Only the Halloween themed RAT on the 31st is nearly full and that always fills up well anyway. With the other...

This one-trip-only operation/package trips are not something I agree with what MHR has been doing lately especially when its higher than a normal day ticket. Might be fine for someone who has no way how to layout/plan their day. But it really...

I think the one trip format has really backfired on the railway this week. The train we travelled on (the 14.50 departure) had roughly about 20- 30 passengers and 14 of them were a last minute group booking of Americans. A couple of the carriages...

I can't help but feel (personally speaking) that the half term week is the wrong time to do this style of one-trip-only operation. Most families will be looking for a day out rather than an hour or so. Part of me also wonders if the loco has...

We had a very enjoyable run behind 6989 this afternoon on the 14.50 Wightwick Hall service. However, it was very sad to see the five coach train so empty. I can't see that the railway has done very well out of this event. Here is a shot of Mr...

The trip was on sale before 13268 was advertised as the motive power. Vintage Trains' full email to customers is in the Vintage Trains thread, but in summary if you booked after the announcement that the Stanier Mogul would haul the train, you...

I got in contact with the railway today and was told that the tickets will be issued by the end of the week. 1 minute after I received this message the e-tickets arrived in my inbox. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

Does anyone know if the railway has started to send out the e-tickets for the Wightwick Hall event yet? We are booked on the afternoon trip on Tuesday next week but I haven't received an email yet with the tickets. I booked back in August and...

Delayed by a late running SWR Southampton Bournemouth all stations FS arrival also meant the T3 was delayed on the 14:00 service. As usual the loco seemed to gather a crowd bot on the platform and in Gilbert Road. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
