That's brilliant news! We must have deep pockets, because it's not cheap to hire. So come one, come all! I have a photograph of one at Long Marston in 1951, taken by the signalman. Described as a Leamington to Honeybourne journey. [ATTACH] Is...

In 99% 0f cases it certainly does. The exception I can think of was once in 1990, when John Cameron stood on the track in front of 60009 at Appleby just for a few moments. I cherish that shot This is the main reason I avoid stations for...

You usually need to wait for the right moment, many a time I have had to wait for the people you describe to get out the way. With the improvement in quality of the cameras in mobile phones it is lot easier that it use to be with a conventional...

I totally get this, and I’m not disagreeing but I want to amplify the bit about balance. I have been steam dept, in the dim and distant past - but the reverse of your comment is also true. These are businesses and *if* they have come down on the...

As @21B says, this means that the trainee/cleaner can't ride on the loco for that trip if one is rotered and. on the NYMR, that's usually the case. I try and make the footplate passenger part of the team by inviting him/her to fill the back end...

For something like a footplate ride that costs the host railway comparatively little marginal cost to deliver, I suspect the pricing is essentially "how high can we go and still fill the available places?" On the Bluebell, we started out at £110...

Paul42 нравится сообщение John Petley в теме 35028 + British Pullman 2026.
Tomorrow (Friday 13th March) will be Clan Line's first run of the year with the Pullmans round the Dover circuit. As no one else has created a thread for it, I thought I would. Regrettably, it's not a particularly brilliant weather forecast for...
