My wife and had a similar experience at the W&L a couple of years ago. In the queue to buy tickets at Llanfair the family in front of me was told that the train was fully booked. They turned around and went back to their car. I was then told the...

The communication on the website is poor. No wonder there's no proper timetable like you'd expect to find because of how they operate. When you get to Embsay its like they are not expecting visitors that haven't prebooked as well. The old ticket...

Its not how the majority of heritage railways operate in the 2020's. They did during covid, but we are long since over lock down. Take the GCR for example they take block bookings and they allocate a coach, but there are no restrictions on...

The giveaway is that 52044 still has her Barton-Wright smokebox door, rather than the Hughes one fitted a few years ago. Personally, I think the old one looked far better, but maybe that's just me...!

Here is a picture of two of the gala stars that could have been taken today, but instead of being dated 22nd March 2026 the date is in fact the spring gala on 22nd March 1975 [ATTACH] Peter

Here’s my account from three days linesiding (Swearing at many brambles) during our Spring Gala this year if anyone is interested. A really enjoyable event and hopefully it turns a healthy profit. Was also my first video this year utilising my...

This was was also evident at the Hunslet gala last year when we visited, a single coach for "normals" and the rest of the train for the exclusive use of Caledonian Travel, even when they were not travelling!!! Which basically meant you had 1...

A brilliant day Saturday. Thanks to all concerned, Saint, Terriers, St4 and tank were amazing. Good time keeping always a seat available, organisers if you read this a Horsted set starting is a great idea, plenty of space on the train for all the...

silversteellady liked 3ABescot's post in the thread Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.
Much like my experiences, except that the staff were polite and friendly in their manner, but had nothing acceptable to offer us. From other posts they seem dominated by pre-booked coach trip and buffet car bookings so turn up on the day visitors...

I called in today as I was passing by and haven't visited for a while. I'd parked at Embsay and was quite suprised that the car park wasn't that busy compared to previous visits so should have been an early warning sign. I'd tried looking at the...

silversteellady liked Rander's post in the thread Southall Toad 68766.
I believe it's to be the support vehicle for the 0-6-0ST Lindsay, which has previously been at Southall but is now elsewhere under overhaul. USA Tank 30064, under the same ownership, is also at Southall.
