At least two of the vehicles there came to the Bluebell in September 2008 when the site was cleared. One was a the body of a Craven-era (1850s) passenger brake van and is exceptionally valuable, though as of yet it remains unrestored and not on...

Echoing the praise for the Diesels at 65 event, would love to see a regular diesel home fleet mini-gala on the calendar as the size of the fleet is just right for this sort of 'mid-scale' event. The double-headers looked great, but the best...

Looking from the outside in and having but only the basic knowledge of the 34105 situation. If the railway evicts it, then surely they are admitting that they have no claim of ownership of it?

If the ownership issues are unable to be sorted I guess it has no future. Not sure if there is a legal avenue for the railway to "evict it" or if they are even prohibited from doing that.

There's got to be some advantages in having 3 similar locos based in the same place (if you include 828) in terms of maintenance, crew familiarity and resulting economy in use. I have often thought that S15s seem well suited to some of the...

I tend to keep my emails fairly formal so that they're clear and easy for everyone to understand. The Instagram and TikTok content is much closer to how I am as a person day-to-day. It's definitely not an act! In our accounts, turnover is split...

From what I understand (not being an accountant!), 'Gross profit' is just income less the immediate cost of the things sold (so in a railway's case I guess coal/Diesel, stock for the catering, etc). 'Operating Profit' is then this less the...

Thanks again Jonnie for your interesting and informative updates (in a much more formal tone than some of your most recent Instagram videos but just as interesting!) Out of curiosity - what kind of taxes do you have to pay which means a turnover...
