I was on Camelot today, and it was fairly hot, though not unbearable - though next week will be worse. An interesting point about open-cabbed locos, particularly 65, but I suspect the same applies to 2999 (I haven't been on it). When it is very...

Near on impossible I’d imagine. Reinstating something that was already there is an entirely different prospect to building a something new, especially when it’s in the national park.

No, it is not necessary, and if the circumstances dictate, that is always an option. In fact, the land on which Killington Lane Station is situated is leased from the farmer.

KWVR membership is £45 for an adult for the year which includes 3 day rovers, half price on other running days, and discounts on galas and events. A day rover is £24. I've had membership there in the past and used the three tickets in a year, and...

Quite, it's this line of thinking that ends up with accusations of calling shareholders/members freeloaders. A dangerous line of thinking.

Satnav is often a contributory cause of bridge strikes, when drivers rely on it instead of planning their routes. There is a long discussion on railforums.co.uk following the recent strike near Bedworth on the WCML.

The GWSR got so tired of drivers striking the Broadway bridge that they gave up and implemented the Hitchhiker's Guide heavy metal beam solution. ("Mr. Prosser: Do you know how much damage this bulldozer would sustain if I just let it roll over...

I'm been thinking about this argument overnight - specifically, the impact of members on a railway's bottom line. This is based around a model in which members get a discount on tickets (typically 50% or thereabouts), which they can use an...

Not my photo, but Sharpthorn going home after the High Weald steam rally. Since the location of this photo is Fletching, it looks like a slightly circuitous route was chosen - it's certainly not on the shortest route back! I think it is the same...

Walkers would be the other option. Park at Norden in the morning, have a nice walk across the hills to the beach, and catch a cheap fare back to your car at the end of the day. It’s more enticing than paying essentially full price for something...

A little light relief to give us a break from the heavy depressing stuff… The Head of People has sent out an update from the Volunteer Forum that has been passed to me where he has asked if the railway “needs an almoner to keep in touch with...

The £24.95 fare is Pickering - Goathland. For reasons only known to those in marketing. the website does not even offer Pickering - Grosmont, not even on the 10.55 which only goes to Grosmont and no further. Nothing is offered from Grosmont...
