    I'm surprised that you credit management with such a high level of competence! In a choice between cock-up and conspiracy, I'd have said the evidence for cock-up is overwhelming

    You mean, like the Beeching cuts? Been there, etc. Unless you meant 'change it from a fundamentally transport business to a fundamentally entertainment business'. Noel

    I was thinking excatly the same thing. The NYMR is run on a need to know basis for facts backed up by a rumour mill. The recently introduced weekly newsletter is a slight step in the right direction but is restricted to volunteers and staff and...

    https://www.bluebell-railway.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/issue-77.pdf Just reading the Bluebell Times. If only the NYMR had this level of openness and communication. Detailed figures for Xmas and New Year running published within a fortnight!...

    They may have, but with the Class Fifty Alliance having close industry links, and senior people at SVR being railway employees, I can also believe that the approach may well have been as direct as reported.

    In a routine sense yes, this is correct, a loco would have to be mainline registered and fitted with the appropriate safety kit. The driver would also have to have a UKTDL. There have been exceptions though with a lot of pre-planning and...

    Which answers a question I had: The Trust was grateful to the shareholders of 80151 in giving us their shares Noel

    Go on- at least it has found a genuine use, infinitely better than a rotting graffiti magnet in Hunting Butts tunnel. Most heritage lines have at least one low-pedigree wagon they could repurpose for a greater good.

    OK, so as I suspected, what you are describing are 'guard rails' not 'check rails'. A commonly misunderstood term!

    Indeed, I was being a little facetious! In a possession, in connection with Network Rail refurbishing the station. Moving back to the SVR - calling such operations a "strategic reserve" is I suspect a bit wistful, but clearly Network Rail in...

    The SVR have 3 mainline certified Class 50s and a 52. They also have several mainline certified Class 20s which call the SVR a base (& see occasional use on SVR services), plus they also host Rail Adventure HST power cars on occasion. Gus...

    50049 is NR certified, and sees a fair bit of use on railtours.

    Out of interest, because I don’t know, was the loco Network Rail certified or was it a question of needs must?

    The new weed killing van is a mildly impressive construct. I wonder if any other lines need such weed killing vans? If so, perhaps there's another useful side business, to go along with re-covered coach seats! Noel

    I meant no criticism or dislike of the video as made. Post #1890 provides the answer. Two experiences for the price of one.
