A friend used to live in a house that had won an architectural award. It demonstrated that winning awards and fitness for purpose are not necessarily correlated.

To be honest the Bluebell has it very lucky infrastructure / passing loops etc wise. There is the ability to run one train up to every two hours on one set - perfect for off-peak. Then, with two sete you can run every hour and 15 mins - perfect...

And this is why designing timetables around production rather than demand has never gone well for railways - going back to all those 19th century branch lines with fixed timetables lasting till Beeching came along.

It may be operationally convenient and the NYMR and the Bluebell are two different railways but, if the NYMR experience is anything to go by, Joe Public does not like changing trains. For most they are comfortably settled in their seats and are...

A front and centre statement on the homepage would definitely help from a customer comms and experience perspective to already manage expectations. Regardless of what people say the majority travel to heritage railways, especially the likes of...

In terms of having a break, a long layover at an intermediate station sometimes allows you to get off, but fundamentally you are still in charge of the loco at that point, so it isn't really a mental break. You may also want to use the time to...

Just noticed in this month's Trackside that SECR 'Birdcage' brake No. 950 is being broken up--this being the one that was formerly based at Ashford Steam Centre back in the 1970s. No doubt it was in poor condition, but it still seems rather a...

I am pleased to report that Southern at War this weekend seems to have been a success and was very busy. I wonder if a more intensive train service may be sought for next year as many trains have been standing room only. The use of Kingscote as a...

So do I, though not retrievable for immediate reference. But to my recollection pretty well detailed wether for planning permission to proceed with it or the project management to realise the civil engineering. If the site is on flood plain and...

Thank you Gary, didn't realise it was only 13 years ago. There are plans somewhere for what we called at the time Crewe South on that patch of land. Drawn up by Mike Hoskin (him of Turkish 8F fame) it was a million pound development, all well...

Nothing that I'm aware of; it's simply a crewing problem, if problem is the right word. There are something like 150 drivers and firemen that all require to be trained up and that is never going to be a five minute job when you are talking about...

I believe some years back, Herston, in the flood defence field was considered for the OOK turntable, but was filed under 'nice to have' but not a priority.

Yes - it’s dismantled and stored on several flatbeds, I believe in the Down Siding at Furzebrook but it could also be in Woodpecker Siding, just north of Norden. There isn’t really a suitable location currently available to put it, circular areas...
