Think you'll find that most heritage railways are like this and help out where possible, there's very much a all of one "company" ethos in my experience.

I think the plan is eventually for 34007 to go mainline. I doubt it'll happen straight away, it's too needed on the Mid Hants. With 41312 going out of ticket this year that only leaves 35005 & 30506, with no loco in reserve in case one fails. I...

Good film! A flange greaser would be an idea on that curve!

Loco crew are all fine if shook up. They know they’ve got support as/when needed. ORR/RAIB informed, it’s a case of letting the processes flow accordingly. Foxfield have not only opened their offer of travel to our customers, but assisted in...

We (or at least, I) don't know what is included in the quoted £250K. It may well include the hire of the scaffolding and propping until it is no longer required and not just the installation. If I was costing up the works, I'd have certainly...

Indeed; that must have been pretty scary in the cab, when the tender came crashing in. I'm very glad nobody appears to have been hurt. I wonder what the deal is with the carriage, with its leading bogie derailed as well? Was it dragged off by...

I saw a short video of this on Youtube and came here straight away for more info! I am beyond glad that there were no injuries. Those pictures are a devastating sight and my heart goes out to all the CVR staff and volunteers in this situation.

I have to say great co-operation between heritage railways, the Foxfield Railway is offering ticket acceptance tomorrow for Churnet Valley ticket holders affected this weekend.

Video here... https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CdGDxR8k8/ For anyone who doesn't use FB, rear (leading) bogie of tender looks to have come away from the frame, or has been removed by the rerailing crew. All six driving wheels appear to be in...

Apparently we are all desperate to pay by contactless so TFL have imposed their own rules as the supplier of the system. Another example (if needed) of beware of what you wish for.

I dare to say in the examples given people are visiting in spite of there being a pacer rather than for it. I don’t think a railway could be successfully commercial operating just pacers. On the less busy days a diesel and loco hauled stock at...

jnc vond M59137's post leuk in het topic Llangollen Railway.
The 110 set was sought as a direct replacement for the 104. Neither are owned by Llangollen Railcars. For info, the nine 104, 108 & 110 vehicles are all hires from private groups/owners, whilst the four 105, 109 and 127 vehicles are owned...

There are plenty enough Pacers for them to settle down in a select number of locations and a representative slice be held and preserved properly to tell the story. Several sets will be lost, and that's fine, spares will change hands and an...

The last time I drove a train over Broom Lane Bridge at 25mph was in 2017 when the speed restriction came into force. It was certainly a real privilege to be the first to drive 31430 over our brand new bridge at 25mph this evening! Chris...
