    I read there as being confusion here. What people are writing of the user journey suggests that tickets are not being sold as Gift Aid tickets, but that purchasers are being invited to make additional donations, which would be eligible for Gift...

    The detailed design work for the next stages of the Reunification project are now complete so the next stage is to go out to tender...when the cash is raised. They have an incredible £2.7M but need approx £3.5M.

    I have heard a few tales regarding things that HIT have tried to pull over the years. It's crazy, they have managed to pretty much kill the goose with the golden egg by failing to recognise the importance that the live stuff has with regard to...

    From my house just south of Leeds at 15:50 on a normal working Tuesday, Pickering is 70 minutes whilst the ELR station at Bury is 99 minutes. But the point is absolutely valid, that there's a section of West Yorkshire where they're in...

    3 million to overhaul 7821 is a tidy sum. I suspect the main contributor to this cost is X amount of years of paying the engineering staff wage bill. The cost of the materials is probably only around 5-10% of the total amount.

    >>>> The 50th Anniversary Weekend has always been intended as a 'lower key' event if compared to a full scale Gala. We very much do not have the volunteer resource within the Gala Planning Team to deliver two large events back to back..... I can...

    I was also there on Saturday. A really well run event, everything seemed to fit together without friction or delays, even when all three operating services were somewhere within Alresford station limits. I was slightly curious about what was up...

    Thanks to Martin for organising another excellent day, always a pleasure working one of these, especially when I can manage an escape to the gallery to see all our hard work roll past a few times :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    As much as I’d love to say it was the long‑awaited Honeybourne to St James pick‑up goods, sadly not this time. It was actually a photographic charter with 3850. Still, lovely to see the wagons out again ahead of their main outing at the gala events.

    Not just yet - the service isn’t planned to start for another couple of months and the final few things are still being sorted out. I’m sure that all the information about the trial will be published by the railway when everything has been...

    That's probably only because the thought hasn't occurred to them yet, though. Give 'em time!

    Might it be pulling an autocoach? That seems to me to make more sense, but it's difficult to be sure!

    Also, you never know who the person who is your guest might be- they might be a person who would consider volunteering, or a person who might consider making a donation one day. On a more personal note; We had a lovely experience on the NYMR a...
