    Looks like the last York Dalesman tomorrow is also definitely diesel-hauled. Not now calling at Hellifield goods loops. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U86164/2026-09-15/detailed A sad end to the summer season ☹️☹️

    You couldn't make it up. After over 2 months without main line steam, Clangmere fails again, and on a day with perfect conditions up on the S&C. The tour went forward with 37 706 and I was waiting for it by Salt Lake Cottages....

    The original post was definitely clumsy and unfair, but I agree with Sidmouth's sentiment that 'gala season' creates tough competition. My ideal diary for the next 8 weeks includes the SVR steam gala, NYMR steam gala, Blaenavon steam gala, WSR...

    How fickle are you? Will you be back in a year moaning that the WSR is no longer doing galas. I remember when galas were everything a home railway had to offer and some different workings. Visiting engines have spoiled enthusiasts - Tanfield ran...

    If you consider the comments made regarding WSR galas since you started with the planning team, may I suggest that you ignore the 1% of negative comments and think of the 99% of positive comments. Over the years, WSR galas have been among the...

    I wouldn't take any comments on here as being indicative of the opinion of the general enthusiast community. Planning a gala is not an easy job. It's always easy to throw stones.

    Honestly think that run out of Horsted Keynes with the two GWR engines that evening is among my all-time favourite preserved line steam experiences. Absolutely incredible from a front coach window. Hearing it from the distance as it came towards...

    I did my annual visit to Didcot, (it's a long journey by rail from Yorkshire over 4 hours) Lots to see, including the guest loco 229 'Coffee Pot' which was working the Didcot Hall shuttle, with 4079 Pendennis Castle & 4144 doing the main runs....
