Paul42 liked pmh_74's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
All I could see from those is that the filing is up to date. Nothing to see; move on. If you want to create a stink, go and look at the Teifi Valley Railway. So I'm left to conclude that maybe he doesn't like the individuals who are named as...

What exactly is the point you are making Colin? Those links go to Companies House and the Charity Commission - are you asking us to read everything on those sites to try to work out what you think the problem is?

Paul42 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I guess it is not beyond the realms of possibility that, given it is early days, crews are still finding the most efficient way to fire the loco, so conceivably costs are higher now than they might ultimately be. But (assuming the "12 tons of...

Paul42 liked Kingscross's post in the thread Avon Valley Railway Updates and Videos.
6695 is still on site but stopped for firebox repairs. It was expected 6695 would replace the Ferrum until the Avonside was ready, but that plan was foiled by the 6695 firebox issues. It is planned to send the Ferrum away for overhaul and it will...

Paul42 liked 5944's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
Do all three boxes (two at Bewdley and one at Kiddy) need to be open for this to run? If they do, as it's more than a 12 hour day from start to finish, they should really need two shifts to cover it. 6 signallers, two drivers, two guards, four...

The Ff&WHR usually puts a post on facebook of which locomotives are planned to operate which trains during the coming week.

Paul42 liked SECR 65's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I must admit, almost every other heritage railway is clear about which services will be diesel hauled, both pre-planned and short notice, be it for fire risk or failures. Most publish a loco roster at least a week in advance...

Paul42 liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
This is the second year that the NYMR has dropped to a five day week. Back in February 2025 I received an anomymous e-mail from someone claiming to be a member of paid staff which went into considerable detail regarding the challenges facing the...

Paul42 liked Seasider's post in the thread The Douglas Bay Horse Tramway.
Greetings all. I'm resurrecting this thread to let you know that Tynwald is today deciding whether to approve up to £3 million of funding for the extension of the Horse Tramway back to its full length. It's item 7 on the agenda. For background...

Paul42 liked SECR 65's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
...And when if you're so inclined you can have fun with Kingscote siding. It might not be sensible but there are so many fun things you can do service-wise on the Bluebell. As for the suggestion of a loop at EG, there is little point. With 15...
