  1. Paul42 a plăcut postul lui Biskit în subiectul North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    Getting slightly off-topic but since the KWVR's excellent food and drink offering has been mentioned, it's worth noting also that in addition to the Old Parcels Office at Keighley, they also own a pub just opposite the station in Haworth. As I...

    We (or at least, I) don't know what is included in the quoted £250K. It may well include the hire of the scaffolding and propping until it is no longer required and not just the installation. If I was costing up the works, I'd have certainly...

    The last time I drove a train over Broom Lane Bridge at 25mph was in 2017 when the speed restriction came into force. It was certainly a real privilege to be the first to drive 31430 over our brand new bridge at 25mph this evening! Chris...

    Apparently the watering point at Plymouth is at the 'country' end of the platform so the loco will pull up at that and only pull into the station proper when it has finished. (So I am told)

    It shows 32 minutes from St Budeaux Junction to Plymouth, rather than the usual 6.

    I wonder what the contractual defects liability period was? Is any warranty remaining?

    Needless to say I have an inbox filling with submissions for the next issue of Bluebell Times! (As running foreman last Sunday I also had a small part to play in ensuring that 80151, 72 and the carriages were left in the right place and ready to...

    I think we established a long time ago that 'profit' and 'business sense' have not been at the forefront of recent decision making. If it were they would have prioritised fitment of CDL for the Jacobite several years ago, rather than putting it...

    Hey, that's our railway you're talking about there! I think it's accepted wisdom that the line was built quickly, and on the cheap. Combined with the particular local geology and geography, and lack of understanding at the time of construction,...

    Each heritage railway has its own niche where it excels, the Bluebell is unsurpassed with its collection of vintage locos and rolling stock. Yesterday's charter with Fenchurch was a good illustration of that. A few results from the day show what...
