If this is the case then this really is all about one man's ego rather than any economic argument. Why would you not run the service if you have now made the investment to run in a profitable and compliant fashion?? Surely you want to make that...

It really is quite simple. If you want to remain part of the club, you have to abide by the rules of the club (which all of the other club members have done). If you don't, you are no longer a member of the club. I find all this moaning about...

As for the point of Salehurst.... In fact all the images are on the RVR. The web link is https://rvrailway.blogspot.com/2026/03/salehurst-section-5.html I am quite flattered that our images are ripped. It is another way of getting the word out...

Thank you! What's the point in being in the front coach if you're not getting covered in smuts...? Will be there bright and early tomorrow.

Set D remains as 6 Green Mk1s and the full car park should be open at Horsted Keynes - fingers crossed the nice weather will have dried the ground out enough for it to be usable!

Paul42 liked Johnb's post in the thread Sir Nigel Gresley - The L.N.E.R.’s First C.M.E..
Any design can be improved with the benefit of hindsight and engineering mistakes are made now, the Ford Ecotech engine being one. My limited knowledge comes from talking to enginemen back in steam days and now. The most awkward to oil up the...

As you say the service starts tomorrow, initially Th -SuO. I haven't been into Douglas this week but photos posted last week on the Supporters FB page (below) showed that work was still ongoing on roads 1 & 2 (the platform and loop normally...

The brave few up at an ungodly hour to join the tour at 0542 from Kings Cross for a less than 100 min stay in Whitby, at least the sunshine made a welcome appearance! [ATTACH]

Paul42 liked 35B's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I read there as being confusion here. What people are writing of the user journey suggests that tickets are not being sold as Gift Aid tickets, but that purchasers are being invited to make additional donations, which would be eligible for Gift...

As discussed at length, that precedent is a poor match for the West Highland Extension.

I believe they also tried to say that the Bluebell couldn't have an engine named "Stepney", until it was pointed out that the loco had first borne that name around 90 years before the book was written and therefore had prior claim! It always...

From my house just south of Leeds at 15:50 on a normal working Tuesday, Pickering is 70 minutes whilst the ELR station at Bury is 99 minutes. But the point is absolutely valid, that there's a section of West Yorkshire where they're in...
