    Well my take is that whilst it may not be good for the movement in a 20th century sense, in the 21st century it is very good as where are all the locos going to come from along with stock for the tours without the likes of WCRC and LSL? "The old...

    What would you rather though? Lots of little operators fighting it out and struggling to survive, or 2 big operators that can make the profits required to continue these operations. I like the current way the mainline Ops are shaping up. I...

    Today has not been a good day, set up on a new location for me on the WCML and looking forward to two steam trips I happened to ring Steve Thompson to see where he was located, he tells me Oxenholme videoing 'Leander' of course I say I'm near...

    And today :- 61306 providing the nowadays rare spectacle of a steam loco on the main line without a support coach (showing the correct light engine lamp position), heading to Crewe from Kidderminster. The loco had arrived at the SVR with a...

    I don't know how anyone forks out any money for that vile toe-rag of a paper. It is terrible. I think the readership is thinning out now. They always have piles of them left at the local newsagent and at Sainsbury's. I also read somewhere...

  9. green five liked S.A.C. Martin's post in the thread Strathspey Railway.

    It amuses me to this day that Daily Mail readers will get offended about criticism of their favourite newspaper, but not offended by the content contained within the paper which ranges from intellectually bereft to just to the right of fascism at...

    Totally agree. Happy to do all I can to hasten its demise. Vile poisonous rag, probably read by Fox et al . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The BBC also continues the race to the bottom with its hype-ing use of the word "crash" (suggesting significant damage, etc.) when 'collision' would have been far better. [ATTACH]

    100% on board with that. The Daily Mail is utter tripe. Weirdly its not even any good for lighting fires with. Chris

  13. green five liked ruddingtonrsh56's post in the thread Strathspey Railway.

    I'd argue any comment pointing out the incompetence of Britain's worst newspaper is relevant. The more people realise how bad the Mail is the fewer will buy it and the greater the chance that it stops existing which , admittedly very unlikely,...

    Well the DM headline did say "beloved steam train hit by another carriage........." so you could ask how relevant was that when it's obvious that it was 60103 that hit the carriage.

    My initial thoughts as well, can see the RAIB questioning how secure kitchen items were, hope no serious injuries and that every one recovers and the NRM don’t restrict the use of Scotsman now.
