silversteellady liked 73108's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I might not be right either, but my impression of visiting the NYMR at least annually over the past few years is that the only priority is delivering the bucket and spade brigade to Whitby, by whatever means possible, and overlooking/overcharging...

silversteellady liked Respite's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Yesterday 44806 was very dead with a replacement spring needed and no spares, despite having two Black Fives on the line. I would have liked to have ridden to Whitby on a steam hauled 9.20 from Pickering but this was a class 37. 92134 was...

[MEDIA] Here's my footage of the Earl & the Two Manors in action with The Whistling Ghost tour yesterday. I filmed the Earl at Charfield, Fordgate and Cogload Junction, and the Manors at Churchlands Bridge, Washford and Williton. I hope you...

silversteellady liked SECR 65's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
In no way am I trying to criticise anyone at the nymr in my post, and I understand the immense challenge of maintaining a large and varied loco fleet running 5-7 days a week with such steep gradients and mileage. What I would say, though, is...

silversteellady liked Simon Smith's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
It does make you wonder about the levels of accountability at the NYMR, with a repeated failure to deliver the locos needed for traffic is this just deemed as acceptable by the board? If in other industries machines were not available for...

silversteellady liked Wagoniester's post in the thread SVR Summer Gala - 18&19 July.
The attached image artwork has appeared in the digital version of Railway Magazine that came out today... I suspect it's not long before Holly Bank No. 3 is officially confirmed in this case. A nice illustration - matches some other recent SVR...

silversteellady liked LittleRedTrain's post in the thread Chasewater Railway Coal Trains Day.
I also visited yesterday, my first ever visit to the line (taking advantage of the fact I was staying in Birmingham Saturday night, and there's an hourly direct bus from the city centre to Brownhills West, only 15min walk from the line). Despite...

silversteellady liked burnham-t's post in the thread Thefts and Vandalism.
Deplorable. I wonder whether the BBC was wise to publish photos of the "tags" - is the publicity not one reason the vandals do it? I also wonder whether "urban explorers" who publish photos and videos of "abandoned train carriages" on social...

silversteellady liked Pete Thornhill's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
And out of his mouth too, well endless hot air anyway. Or it could be wind from his backside given how much he talks out of it!!! One example - He was adamant 45110 was off on a low loader back to Carnforth straight off the last train despite...

That’s because we don’t put up with David Moyle and his endless nonsense here (seriously wish you would block him from the Gwsr page for my sanity) ;) Back to 45110, glad it’s staying for a bit be nice to have it local to me again.

It's certainly caused a lot of froth on Facebook, but as we know NatPres is a froth free zone [emoji4]

silversteellady liked Jamessquared's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
I'm kind of surprised it hasn't generated more noise on NP than it has, but for what it is worth, the GWSR Facebook confirmed that 45110 will be based on that railway for a further 6 months (which basically takes you up to the end of November...
