I really hope no-one answers that question on here. It should be very obvious why it would not be a good idea.

There are mutterings that the field on the west side of the line just South of Horsted Keynes at Station Approach (New Road Bridge I think it's officially called?) is no longer accessible. This was opposite to the side with the public footpath...

2004 was the year the main line return plans fell apart. The awarding body, RESCO, lost all the existing paperwork so there were no grandfather rights left over from the 1996-98 running. We would basically have started again with fresh surveys...

Ray, we must have been standing side by side!! Here's my shot of 5305 that day. I also have a similar one of 532. [ATTACH]

My experience of S15’s is limited to 825/841 but I have nothing but admiration for them. They may not have the ease of prep and comforts of the BR Standards but they are strong, sure footed and fantastic steamers.

Confirmed: Change of date for the Mayflower. Correct decision and well handled IMO.

I tend to keep my emails fairly formal so that they're clear and easy for everyone to understand. The Instagram and TikTok content is much closer to how I am as a person day-to-day. It's definitely not an act! In our accounts, turnover is split...

From what I understand (not being an accountant!), 'Gross profit' is just income less the immediate cost of the things sold (so in a railway's case I guess coal/Diesel, stock for the catering, etc). 'Operating Profit' is then this less the...

Hello everyone, It has been a while since the last finance update, and the hot summer has impacted every heritage railway and tourist attraction that I have spoken to. So, how are we performing? So far this year, we have carried 21,717...

That is not the question. In my experience the question tends to be how much effort does it take to keep a Bulleid able to do the work compared to other types. The Jarvis rebuilds are tons better in this regard. The originals are difficult to...

CanPac has definitely been a great asset for the railway since returning from her lengthy overhaul. She was thrown in at the deep end so to speak when 30506 developed a boiler problem and was out of action for some time. 35005 was the main motive...

Although I get the point that a Merchant Navy is a very large loco for operating 5 coach trains, it remains the case that the cheapest loco to operate is the one you have available right now. In other words - 35005 may burn a lot of coal, but the...

Which, ironically, is exactly what we do. Train to Newtondale, walk to Levisham (a very pleasant one along easy terrain and, as a bonus, almost all downhill). Then we sit on the station and eat a picnic while enjoying the glorious peace and...
