Sadly, we're well aware of that one. Not only faster than the average human but, on one occasion, faster than the combine harvester he was driving, too. That was a long time ago, and fortunately the driver managed to get out. We are really keen...

Paul42 gefällt RichardSalmons Beitrag in dem Thema Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
As SECR 65 said, we would prefer to keep 4227 as original when restored; the Mid Hants have one as well, with the Coupe Compartment, but theirs is stripped out to provide wheelchair access. The current thinking is to use our second RMB in the...

Yes, 25728 is in need of work - it had the structural pillars done when it first arrived 30 years ago, and cosmetic work, but needs more now. As our last remaining SK, it's considered an important vehicle in heritage terms, and the company are...

Paul42 gefällt 2857Harrys Beitrag in dem Thema Severn Valley Autumn Steam Gala - 17 to 20 Sept.
9681 will be our 2nd guest locomotive, courtesy of the DFLG and DFR. A huge thanks to the guys at the DFLG for this who’ve been superb to deal with. 9681 has very rarely left the DFR, perhaps a handful of times in its life at best. Certainly one...

I think what you need to do is use your trusty Leica to take a photo of the ticket on your computer, then rush the film round to the local Boots and get a print made of the ticket. Simples! Beings serious, I suspect that these days a...

Of course the big flaw to advance tickets on the NYMR is you still have to visit the ticket office to collect them. So unless you are after the discount there's little point as there isn't much of a time saving at all. What they should do is give...

At the Bluebell (sorry, again) they are finding that evening dining trains are less popular these days compared to daytime services. It might be that people don't want to drive in the dark. Sadly the Golden Arrow Evening Dining is regularly...

I'm not altogether surprised at the pattern - going out for a restaurant grade meal deep in the country is something I'd be reluctant to do if I weren't staying within walking distance after the meal. I've done it before, and the drive home...

One of the things that I class as a part of the heritage experience when visiting a heritage railway is the issue of an Edmondson card ticket stamped in a dating press. It’s such a simple thing to do and provides an experience of something once...

Actually I was considering going over there tomorrow. Being in the category ageing steam buff, I can't handle the heat, so tomorrow looks good from a weather pov. But oh dear it looks like it is diesel dominated this week and £35 (actually £55...

I received a communication today, which is self explanatory. "I read the National Preservation forum on the NYMR.... I am getting concerned people might think the poster called Richards who has recently been quite uptight about another member is...

There's also the problem in that there's no proper road access to Grosmont, nor any space to expand maintenance or storage facilities. That's going to limit what you can do from that end. What really needs to happen is the Esk Valley line gets...

This reminds me a bit of some of the conversations about the WSR, where everyone could agree that the line was too long, but no-one could agree on which end should be mothballed! The difficulty on the NYMR as I see it is that Whitby adds...

Paul42 gefällt Michael Whitehouses Beitrag in dem Thema VT : White Rose to York and Scarborough - 4/7/26 (revised).
These times are not agreed and we are seeking an earlier departure from BNS and an earlier return. We consider we will be successful. We will advise passengers of the agreed times when fixed, and in the meantime reliance should not be placed on...
