To try and keep on time today they were only running as far as Cats Eye, which is just past the treadle for Norden Gates in the down direction. The main purpose of running these services over the road was for signaller training in Norden Gates,...

It’s a walkway not a platform. It’s now a requirement for new bridges to have one. We couldn’t afford a double track bridge like the original, nor would there be an operational need for one.

I have another photograph which provides an interesting comparison to that 1964 shot taken at Corfe Castle. Here is a very similar angle of 30053, this time taken at Harmans Cross, with 31806 approaching with a two coach driver experience...

The picture shows that both trains should have been pull-push operated but the incoming train is hauled by a BR Class 3 tank deputising for an unavailable M7. This makes for a more interesting picture as had a pull-push loco been available it...

I think the bit I have put in bold is absolutely correct. Many of the people in the senior trustee / director positions started as volunteers and then became directors - rather than the other way round. So I think that instills a passion for the...

Surely that clarified the matter very well, and may be helpful to you? It means that the Right of Way decision needs to be based on hard evidence, not public or media pressure. It's some years since I was involved with the Planning Inspectorate...

I come back to this thread with an increasingly heavy heart having just enjoyed reading (something you can't say about the totally uninspiring Moorsline these days) the excellent monthly Bluebell Times, produced and edited by our very own Tom...

Extra services in April are due to be operated by the autocar. There have been comments about the lack of seating on the normal service trains - about 220 seats on the four coach set that's been used so far. The autocar adds 106 seats. Not a lot,...

When people like Peter, who doesn't hide behond a pseudonym, say and do these things, it really does need to be taken notice of. The post I quoted may be a total figment but the fact that a date for the solicitors meeting was quoted tends to...
