    We have booked on the final run on Sunday 24th. The discount code issued at the Gala for the Ivatt Farewell event is not valid for the final train but it works on all of the other trains for 23rd and 24th January. Seating is limited for this...

    Good day at the Watercress Line today. Ivatt 41313 did appear to have been fixed as it was out and about early this morning and did an unscheduled extra duty by banking the 0900 Ropley to Alton as far as Medstead. Everything ran very well to...

    Yes, I heard this as well. Ropley MPD staff and volunteers were working on 41313 when we arrived back at Ropley with 41312. The Ropley station staff were not sure if she will be out tomorrow.

    Wow! We just had a phenomenal run up the bank from Alton with 41312 on the delayed 16.30 departure. A full on assault from the plucky Ivatt tank. Haven't heard her work like that since she took a Daylight Railtour up the formidable bank at...

    41313 unfortunately failed at Medstead on the delayed Ivatt doubleheader. 41313 removed from the train and 41312 continuing alone for the rest of the round trip. 41313 heading back to Ropley. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

    Not sure if 41313 will be in action tomorrow as a few pictures posted on the MHR friends Facebook page earlier today showed work being carried out with the boiler in Ropley yard. Hopefully the good folk of Ropley MPD have sorted the problem....

    I asked about hire costs a few months back. I was told (by someone who would know) that 60103 was a significant financial success, 60007 covered costs and 60163 a flop. When it comes to 31128, 37688, 47077 they were needed due to lack of "home"...

    I'm not as clued up as Tom on technicalities or as eloquent in debate as 35B. I'm not into corporate law or administrative jargon as Lineisclear appears to be. I attempt to speak plainly. The points I've been trying to make have been critical of...

    Members used to ride free on trains after the AGM meeting. It's hard to do that when the railway's closed. The timing, the venue, the notice period, and the selection of four candidates to avoid a vote does not feel right. I'm beginning to...

    The reasoning behind it (that I’ve been told) is so that 80151 can be part of the line-up of Standards on Saturday at Horsted Keynes. It also means it can double head with the other engines and be facing the same direction, which massively eases...
