Miff liked H Cloutt's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
I think I read somewhere that the cost of the Station Building was covered by a legacy and that the Carriage Shed and Engine Shed were estimated at £200,00 each.

The donation link posted by @H Cloutt is the correct one, also appearing in the RVR post linked below. The blog makes clear that: “Our two major benefactors are generously covering the basic cost of rebuilding the 2.1/2 mile missing link but...

Something to look forward to when the RVR extension’s completed. K&ESR will also, for the first time ever since opening in 1900, have the option of services originating from Robertsbridge since it’s planned to have a new loco running-shed there...

Miff liked Cuckoo Line's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
From our point of view when the timetable says steam and diesel would be good to know which is scheduled steam and which is scheduled diesel. If the rostered motive power is changed due to.iperstipnal issues well living on GWR mainline we are...

Miff liked John Petley's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
Thank you for providing a definitive answer on why the K&ESR doesn't publish a loco roster. I guess it's not the answer some of on here would like, but perfectly understandable given that the volunteers and staff do not want to be hassled by...

Miff liked Streetert's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
Good afternoon. I have adjusted the photo link(s). Originally a MU photograph would link through to the Marked up photo, however as not all systems are the same I've taken it back to basics aka two photos.

Miff liked dan.lank's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.

Miff liked Sidmouth's post in the thread Heritage Railways, are they in trouble, generally?.
I can only share my experience . I now have two responsible positions , one as a loco owning group trustee and one as a director on a railway . With regard to the director I had indicated my willingness to become one principally as the time felt...

Miff liked Steve's post in the thread Heritage Railways, are they in trouble, generally?.
Thanks, Tom. I started this thread as a sort of spin off from the NYMR thread because various people keep claiming that heritage railways are in trouble generally and blame this on the usual things, such as covid, the price of coal/everything....

Miff liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Heritage Railways, are they in trouble, generally?.
Coming back to @Steve's question - "Or perhaps rather than look on the gloomy side, which railways are doing relatively well?" - and also picking up on what one might, charitably, call the "business realist" school of pronouncements from some in...
