One diesel-hauled set with Pullmans serving breakfast/cream tea, a Thumper, and a Terrier doing brake van rides... worth a visit I say! It might be no On Parade, but that's quite appealing even for a steam nut like I.

The subtitles are auto-generated by YouTube (if you have the "CC" button clicked) - so not the fault of the producer of the video. For an automatic system they are quite good, but from time to time you do see such howlers as you noticed! Tom

The Bridge 42 saga just keeps giving. In the latest Moors line there's a piece about it as you would expect. In it they give the updated fundraising target of £950k, split between the two phases. Phase 1 was the temporary propping 'Has...

I believe Repton is out on the diner tomorrow. Time was when annual steam mileage was 60k +. This year you can probably knock a nought off that.

Except they're a couple of diesel failures away from cancelling services again. The travelling public seem to be accepting the use of diesels at the moment due to the weather, although that's not the reason the NYMR are using them.

One of the biggest problems is that hire fees for diesels aren't anywhere near that of steam either, due to the perceived cheaper running costs. I've heard of some diesel locos being paid £100 a day. You could barely even get a steam loco warm...
