  1. Paul42 a plăcut postul lui Steve în subiectul West Somerset Railway General Discussion.

    It's little different from the NYMR although granted, Pickering is a tad larger than Bishops Lydeard. The majority of people start their day from Pickering and have to have travelled there by road to have done so. Minehead and Whitby are...

    To me it’s really simple. Minehead is “somewhere” so many holidaymakers, once there, won’t wish to travel. Especially not to “nowhere”. On the other hand, day trippers will wish to go “somewhere” and a steam train to a destination worth a few...

    Even if the line is not running heritage services on a particular day, it doesn't automatically mean the line is available - railways use days (and weeks) with no trains to have planned infrastructure maintenance. That all gets more fraught if...

    That's all very well for the driver but makes life very difficult for the fireman. The driver stays in one place but the firemans job entails him moving about the cab, needing room to swing his shovel and also keep a good lookout from his side of...

    More than one though. To provide a meaningful service, even just peak hours Monday - Friday, each box will require two staff per day due to the length of day. In which case are they employed part-time just as signallers or full-time, and do they...

    That is true, but losing the utility of the full boiler ticket of two locomotives has meant a greater overhaul burden tha would have been the case.

    That was dated 21st April. That was the last time they updated anything regarding the bridge. It's really quite embarrassing that they can't even be bothered with weekly updates about a project that costing them a huge amount of money, both in...

    FFS, there’s reasons why people use Kidderminster, rather than Bewdley.

    Quite often on non-running days, ie days for shunting, etc it is only signed by somebody who signs it as a ground frame, and not and full box. So it will be more days than you think to which it is not manned

    28 years on that really means nothing Fred. All sorts of things may have, and almost certainly will have, changed to accommodate new stock or other requirements.

    I'm not sure promising a "scoping excercise" is the kind of self-interest you suggest there. It's not like they've promised anything. It's worth pointing out there is no money outside central govt, so no matter how much you think it "should just...

    Here's a view of it during its reversal at Chester South Junction yesterday for those who like to chew over what's missing/changed etc. RE an earlier comment, both my wife and I commented on hearing a regular "squeak" when it passed us during the...

    A cracking day out in the Cotswolds with a couple of classic vehicles. An ex-Southdown Leyland Titan PD2 and a Rolls Royce 20/25. Very fond memories of the Southdown Titans as I would travel on them in and around Chichester during childhood...
