    I feel my personal frustration is more down to the railway not really communicating properly what's going on. I had an email about my Scotsman visit a day ago, but it made no mention of the diesel assistance. There hasn't been anything...

    And, if you actually read what I'd written, you'd notice that I'd acknowledged that the SVR have done the right thing and are acting reasonably. That doesn't mean that visitors aren't entitled to feel a level of disappointment, or that this...

    We each have choices to make in specific circumstances. There is a material difference between "published lists of locomotives" and an event sold specifically on the basis of a particular locomotive. God forbid it come to that, but I suspect a...

    It is definitely better than some other fares for it I can agree with that. Yeah, the class 20 isn't the prettiest thing ever produced...

    We didn't pay for an A3 with Class 20 assistance though did we? That wasn't what was advertised? Again, a polite response somehow warranted "GeT a GrIP".

    Many of us happily agree to the T&Cs. Its a risk we sometimes take, but its not so big a deal on a normal day versus a highly advertised special train. Also, the gripe many of us have here is a diesel replacing or near enough replacing steam....

    Sorry, I'm not sure how my relatively measured response to this deserves a 'Get a grip' rude type of response? Great for you that you didn't moan, but what relevance does that have here? I have said, you can feel great for the SVR that they...

    If Scotsman is to have diesel assistance then booked passengers should be informed and given the option of a refund The should also be ample publicity about this in advance via website & socials There simply is no excuse on this day & age

    Does look lovely. Was Scotty doing a reasonable amount or just for pure display?

    I bought tickets for my father and me for Sunday, and while the fire risk was always there, it does feel disappointing. Neither of us has ever ridden behind the A3 so to hear its got a diesel potentially doing all the actual work is a bit...
