Yes to the first question - it is the total coal consumption (tons bought in a year divided by miles run - I think it was about 2017 when I did the calculation but I might be wrong). So that inflates the coal consumption, you aren't necessarily...

I wouldn't say people here do (or don't) have a grudge about the NYMR (well, there may be someone, somewhere, who does; someone who has been harmed by then). What I see, rather, is two spectrums. The first is how worried people are about the...

I guess the point being made is that the vac-braked locos and the air-braked stock are both independently compliant with mainline regulations, but are incompatible with each other. While at the same time, the carriages that are compatible with...

I’m also curious about contracts. If there was a signed contract with agreed fees, then changing those at short notice is not really on. But if there was no contract in place - what were the DFR doing advertising locos at a gala when they hadn’t...

It seems to me that communication is the key. If you're taking significant numbers of pre-bookings and it's likely that trains will sell out, then this should be clearly communicated through the website/social media. I'd suggest that the bet...

Last week we removed the point rodding crossing the tracks between the station and the bridge so the large crane does not damage it. Hopefully it will avoid the cranks, roller bases etc! Survey markers have been placed in the track and on the...

It's a popular spot. The line goes uphill, and into the tunnel there. Look the other way, and you'll see the plate layer's hut we're building: [ATTACH] (sorry about the contrast, my basic camera is not good with contrast.)

I thought of you Bryan, as I made a spur-of-the moment decision to photograph this double-header. I hadn't originally planned to go due to the north easterly wind - the curse especially of Freshfield Bank at this time of year, as many...

A fantastic weekend, I managed to visit on Thursday and Saturday so here's my video. For anyone who just wants to hear the castle I suggest jumping to 15:47 where its climbs the bank from Damems, note that the clip starts with it leaving Damems...

My wife and had a similar experience at the W&L a couple of years ago. In the queue to buy tickets at Llanfair the family in front of me was told that the train was fully booked. They turned around and went back to their car. I was then told the...

I think it's not impossible that a hastings diesel unit might have been allowed on a trial. The class 04 Dewry Diesels weighed 32 tons on all of the bridges all three axles would have been on the bridge at one time. Apart from Austen's bridge...

I've just received an email from RTC with this statement, "The Edinburgh Flyer - Saturday 4 April Highlights include: Running through Morpeth at maximum speed". Can anyone explain to me why this should be a highlight?

The giveaway is that 52044 still has her Barton-Wright smokebox door, rather than the Hughes one fitted a few years ago. Personally, I think the old one looked far better, but maybe that's just me...!
