I am merely acting as a messenger and in good faith sharing information. The fire risk status is updated daily based on a daily Met Office report. I cannot report on information as to why it is one status one week vs the next, but there seems...

If Bahamas' move had taken place yesterday then it would, unfortunately, have been without me watching - but today was a different kettle of fish. After this morning's debacle when I failed to press record on the drone controller properly (or at...

It is a well known fact that men cannot multitask and Oswald is no exception. Tomorrow was to have been a good/very good/great day with two steamers and a Western due to pass through Blackburn. Alas, for operational reasons the Fellsman and...

Not technically a normal boat train, but 35006 was moved to Nine Elms for a week in may 1961 for VIP trips to view the SS Canberra before the maiden voyage. Not sure but I was told it also ran the first trip at the end of the week. Happy to be...

Yep 35006 the first of hopefully 4. First Merchant on the SVR, first of a lineup of visitors which haven’t visited before (If all goes to plan!), chance of some boat train recreation, and well the rest you’ll have to wait and see

Mick45305 liked David likes trains's post in the thread Mid Norfolk gala 27-29 June.
I was on the trains in the middle of the day yesterday and would say it was reasonably busy. Not full so you could comfortably find a seat, but not deserted either. Plenty of people around at Dereham and Wymondham, and a few at Thuxton as well....
