I went on holiday to Yorkshire in summer 2023 (I think). We, as a train loving family, went to a variety of heritage lines. I'll talk here about the NYMR and the KWVR. In the case of the former, we stayed for a week near Grosmont. In the latter...

This is a change that has been increasingly obvious just looking around at the pubs I frequent. With 38% of the population now over 50, perhaps not surprising. It poses one of the many challenges of adaptation required by heritage railways.

For me, no steam, no go. (Maybe for a 50% discount, but only if I’m in the area and I need to make the trip for other reasons).

Lack of steam is the big flaw with the NYMR in recent times. I think weirdly its been even worse since the Gold timetable was binned. I used to be willing to travel to the NYMR fairly frequently because they were almost guaranteed to run...

Actually I was considering going over there tomorrow. Being in the category ageing steam buff, I can't handle the heat, so tomorrow looks good from a weather pov. But oh dear it looks like it is diesel dominated this week and £35 (actually £55...

I found it fairly easy to do so. Descending the bank from Goathland to Grosmont, once up to speed I’d drop the vacuum to about 15-16” which would be about the balancing braking to keep the speed steady. Some slight adjustment was always...

Not really, I knew all that, it wasn’t the question I asked it was about maintaining a level of brake force eg 15 in of vacuum without constantly adjusting the brake valve

One of the things that I class as a part of the heritage experience when visiting a heritage railway is the issue of an Edmondson card ticket stamped in a dating press. It’s such a simple thing to do and provides an experience of something once...

I'm not altogether surprised at the pattern - going out for a restaurant grade meal deep in the country is something I'd be reluctant to do if I weren't staying within walking distance after the meal. I've done it before, and the drive home...

You might have a point. As we’ve aged, we’ve pretty much stopped eating dinner much after 7.00pm, so we would favour lunch or afternoon tea over an evening diner.

Of course the big flaw to advance tickets on the NYMR is you still have to visit the ticket office to collect them. So unless you are after the discount there's little point as there isn't much of a time saving at all. What they should do is give...

I think what you need to do is use your trusty Leica to take a photo of the ticket on your computer, then rush the film round to the local Boots and get a print made of the ticket. Simples! Beings serious, I suspect that these days a...

There's a lot to digest from posts over the last 24 hours. I remain of the opinion that Whitby traffic will remain the main source of revenue both to and from Whitby but there remains a substantial number of people who don't want to traverse the...

I received a communication today, which is self explanatory. "I read the National Preservation forum on the NYMR.... I am getting concerned people might think the poster called Richards who has recently been quite uptight about another member is...

There's also the problem in that there's no proper road access to Grosmont, nor any space to expand maintenance or storage facilities. That's going to limit what you can do from that end. What really needs to happen is the Esk Valley line gets...
