Paul42 liked Michael Whitehouse's post in the thread 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...

All the Bluebell's locos operational have had spark arresters fitted over the last four or five years as and when they have had spells in the works; and also generally ashpan sprays fitted at major overhauls. The loocs with hopper washpans are...

Paul42 liked 26D_M's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Whilst by no means an exhaustive study, my impression of the posts @richards tends to make is that they are routinely critical towards fellow posters whilst ignoring the particular subject matter.

Paul42 liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I very much share @60044’s concerns about the NYMR. Where we do tend to differ is that I’m not calling for people to go, simply for them to change their direction and approach. However, I fear that this won’t happen until some people do go....

Paul42 liked 35B's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Most forums have rules against back seat moderation. Your posts have added little to discussion of matters NYMR but for reasons well explained by @jnc have ignored the motivations underlying @60044’s posting. For what it’s worth, I tend to...

To my eye this looks rather like a case of people residing in glass houses ? Who is he intimidating exactly, I’m not feeling it myself?

I doubt this person dislikes the NYMR; I doubt fairly strongly that that's the motive for their frequent posting. In fact, quite the opposite; I would guess that the NYMR is fairly special to them, and that's why they post so much. I reckon the...

Paul42 liked RichardSalmon's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Yes, 3068 is privately owned. It doesn't (yet) have a Bluebell web page, since it is not (yet) actually on the Bluebell. The problem with the Rambler set is that CLC is a terrible livery for maintenance; hard to keep clean, and needs much more...

Fitted with a really good spark arrestor, modern design of over door ashpan, can be worked round the whole railway in 1st valve no drama. Was our most reliable last year in the high fire risk season

Paul42 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I know it is different in scale, but the "no whistling" edict also applies at East Grinstead on the Bluebell. The safety mitigation is that the section of line is "one engine in steam" and therefore those most at risk of being hit by a moving...

Paul42 liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Very unlikely - if a bus went down that dead-end road I'm not sure where it would turn around to come back. Anyway, to satisfy the local objections, the whole aim will be to discourage people from using PE as a destination/embarkation point....

Paul42 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Yes, but a local journalist can write what ever they choose to generate clicks, particularly if they decide actually reviewing the primary evidence sounds too much like hard work! In other words - given the original report or DevonLive as my...
