Going from my admittedly now-dim memories of what was outlined in the planning application for the work, it would to some degree depend on how big a crew was put onto the job; i.e. how much money they wanted to spend. I don't know enough about...

I'm not saying they need 5 locos operable. I'm saying they need more than 5 locos in their operation and overhaul rotation in order to reliably maintain the needed number of locos in peak periods without having to hire in locos from other...

The T3 is owned by the Swanage Railway Trust rather than the railway itself. Its overhaul was entirely funding by SRT fund raising. The Swanage Railway now pay SRT steaming fees which go into a pot for help fund the next overhaul. Funding model...

The NRM certainly do seem to have a lot of faith in the Swanage Railway. In fact the Swanage Railway have been given so much free rein over the T9 that it does almost seem like it’s been donated to them in all but name. I doubt the Swanage...

Does sound like a sensible policy to me, keep at least one Bulleid round but have the brunt of your services catered for by smaller engines. The development with the T9 actually fascinates me the most, as before the NRM was quite particular about...

I'm sure Swanage will always have at least one SLL Bullied in operation on the railway. 257 Squadron is also about to go out of ticket so for a bit anyway it will just be Manston running at Swanage, whether when 257 Squadron it returns to Swanage...

It’s owned by 6695 locomotive company, always has been and not been sold. Just let a bit of a nomadic existence since leaving Swanage. Originally went to WSR, then Swindon & Cricklade and then Avon Valley. Now it seems Swanage wants it back. The...

There is only so much money in the pot though. If they are signing a deal to run 6695 for X years then that money has to come from somewhere. I really wouldn’t be surprised to see one of the Bulleids go elsewhere. The deal with SLL regarding how...

From the CEO: We’re delighted to announce that our old friend GWR Collett 56xx class no. 6695 will be returning to Swanage Railway this week for the final stages of its repair work! We’re hoping to have the opportunity to run this lovely...

I can only relate a story told to me of an HRA conference a few (4 or 5) years ago when one of the speakers was apparently the fundraising lead for the Bluebell. This had been apparently touted as a key speaker as many railways had been advised...

When you say "replaced", I'd say "renamed". For which, stuff 'em.

An interesting response, because it seems to me that you have been saying all along the the NYMR cannot trade itself out of the hole where it now finds itself, and that staff reductions would not be viable. Infrastructure costs are one area...

I'm not a frequent visitor to the Bluebell and but there is a fundamental difference with the NYMR management in that not only are thay taking steps to deal with the economic climate, they have retained the confidence and support of their...
