  1. Paul42 vond flying scotsman123's post leuk in het topic GWSR General Discussion and Operations.

    Hey, that's our railway you're talking about there! I think it's accepted wisdom that the line was built quickly, and on the cheap. Combined with the particular local geology and geography, and lack of understanding at the time of construction,...

  4. Paul42 vond Johnb's post leuk in het topic Bluebell Railway General Discussion.

    Each heritage railway has its own niche where it excels, the Bluebell is unsurpassed with its collection of vintage locos and rolling stock. Yesterday's charter with Fenchurch was a good illustration of that. A few results from the day show what...

  7. Paul42 vond Kirk Oswald's post leuk in het topic North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I know the Grosmont Post Office team and they always try and "look after" the village in the nicest possible way. I also know from bitter experience that the NYMR Park Street Mafia deceive, distort and obfuscate at every opportunity. I wasn't at...

    It's certainly a lot easier getting information out of them!

    Is the Grosmont Co-op now the NYMR's official communications agency? Tom

    Great pics, despite the guard having his hands in his pockets contemplating what a good day he was having! :)

  12. Paul42 vond 26D_M's post leuk in het topic Jacobite 2026.

    Is it incorrect to say that in 2018, when renewing the R5 exemption, ORR told WC that it would be the final exemption issued, for a period of five years? In March 2023, when that exemption period ended WC sought its renewal and was declined by...

  13. Paul42 vond jnc's post leuk in het topic North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    That's certainly one plausible interpretation of their 'it can't be done' (although I have to wonder if they actually said 'I can't do it', and that was mis-reported as 'it can't be done'). I still wish more had been said - and reported - on why...
