    No that is not the case. The problem with the bridge was known about and I understand that plans were in place to deal with it. However it has since been overtaken by events. I have heard that part of the problem is the increased rate of river...

    [ATTACH] I think this sums up the current situation, taken from the staff newsletter dated 12/1/26. It seems that we need to be patient while the assessment is carried out but there is a promise that we will be kept informed as things progress....

    Any trial operation to Blue Pool this year is just that - a trial to assess if there's a chance that it is worth investing money to have some form of permanent arrangements in the future. To keep costs down, I suspect the platform may be of...

    If you mean for the “Railcar 50” event the reason wasn’t due to any technical issue with bringing it in by rail and was purely for financial reasons. What happened was during the event planning the visitor list was drawn up which included 22....

    I suspect the logistics of "your nearest loco is 400 yards away by rail" is probably rather easier than "it's fifty miles away by twisty road"! Tom
