Absolutely. It's totally right for the railway, and personally I'd love to see it one day carrying the old KESR blue livery, standing at the head of a train of 4-wheelers, even if the name isn't one from Greek mythology!

Major overhaul costs have gone through the roof. The days when any railway can have a shed full of operational locos have gone, unfortunately. It is now a case of sweating the assets.

Dolobran is, as I understand it, still at GCRN, has been up for sale for a while, but is still being worked on (although whether seriously worked on, or just being reassembled to make eventual removal easier, is unclear to me). Rhyl, along with...

Thanks for that Steve and I can see some logic. However I understood it applies to CDL fitted stock on tours as well.

The requirement for every passenger to have a seat is part of the Reg 5 exemption from door locking. Clause 3 (vii) states: " the Company must ensure that passenger loadings do not exceed the total seating capacity available within the relevant...

On the upside it makes using 4MT tanks etc full line to Whitby more viable if the trains are 2 fewer in length, perhaps?

The NYMR said that lack of steam operation due to fire risk was responsible for poor visitor numbers in the early season 2025. If steam is so important why is diesel substitution so accepted? I know it's early this year in terms of full line...

My local council has spent - and is still spending - literally millionsof £££s on erecting a 'ring of steel' of rectractable bollards around the city centre to protect against a possible terrorist atttack. OK, fair enough in that during peak...

What about “passengers on trains that haven’t yet departed?” If they are excluded, then I think in our case it is fairly rare we’d have 200 people at one station, except at galas, Santas etc. Tom

On the Gift Aid on fares point: how that works out is still to come. But my sense in the NYMR case is that it was not the Gift Aid per se that was the problem. It was that they initially chose the "free returns within one year model" and it is...

But the mess is not about structure but people and values. And, on that, Bluebell seem to have managed to preserve the balance.

Many good points here, especially including "do you start limiting station access in case the numbers do go over the threshold", but I'm not sure I agree with the first part above. Places with large draws might indeed find it useful to do a bit...

I think it is staying all Summer - I heard 6 months. It’s not listed in any of the sets for Bluebell on Parade and it would certainly be included there if available. Tom
