Might just be better to remove the diesel notes and say to view loco allocation within a week of travel, or something like that.

The 10% booking fee is included in the prices that I quoted (£21.45 for an adult & £24.75 for a child) and not additional. An adult Pickering -Levisham return is being advertised at £11.95 so that effectively means the Thomas event is seemingly...

Pl Plus it spends over 2 hours in Whitby, are they really going to leave a steam loco kicking around for 2 hours? You could just switch the diesel off. I do admit there appear to be a number of ways in the "noted" that a diesel is described or...

I don't think RTT knows about steam locos, so it always says Diesel haulage - I think FS usually goes round under it's own steam.

A better one would be to say that due to rising oil prices 2253 is going to be converted back to coal firing. Jon

Does the Buckinghamshire railway centre know your borrowing 7715 and returning it to steam, personally I’d use 7714 as it’s already at the SVR in working order ;)

Impressive - not only do they have double heading but they're also going to be restoring a loco which has been out of traffic for more than a decade to traffic in less than a week! ;)

Another new (well, oldish, now) Carriage & Wagon Blog, BTW: C&W News - February Noel PS: Oops; the February report is posted at the end of February, so it's actually not "oldish" at all (at the moment).

[ATTACH] These two bodies have appeared for sale on Facebook recently. Possibly GER D113 first class four wheelers? Both have Stratford 1900 builders plates on the headstocks.

Because of the way the water level changes over a summit. If you have a loco working chimney first, as you go up the hill, the water comes to the back of the loco so the water level reads high in the glass. As you go over the summit and shut the...

Yes, in jest. Usually they turn one loco each year to even out tyre wear, so you never know.

The way to do it is to build capacity around it, which in fairness did sort of happen on Saturday as the departure before was the full line GW 7 coach set. We were able to get seats for the 10.30am departure off Kidderminster. If an extra train...

Please no! This is an incredibly poor idea. The whole point of this weekend was to have an event that was accessible to all. Suddenly making some trains 'premium' detracts from that ethos and then people like my mum and daughter miss out on a...
