I have to say that the Incident at the Churnet Valley was almost unique in the lack of speculation or even announcements on what happened. All i have seen is a statement that it was a Swiss cheese situation. I have heard more but it is only...

We had similar incidences at another railway. After the third instance of carriage shed doors being demolished, derailers were installed outside.

Mainly read for a laugh, it’s really not to be taken seriously. About as reliable as the Daily Mail

Having seen a few of the pics and comments appearing online, I'm glad to hear there were no injuries. Pretty much *anything* can be fixed given enough time and money, but it must be pretty heartbreaking for the SVR and especially those involved...

Yes people have sent me 4 versions of rumour today. Please ignore any of them as 90% of what I’ve read is absolute crap. It’ll be revealed once the investigation is done, but tbh it shouldn’t really matter to anyone not involved, other than...

I will be amazed (and, frankly, worried) if there is any steam at all on this run, sadly. No rain forecast so the already bone-dry conditions can only worsen. A great shame - I was looking forward to seeing 34028 out.

I went to Knebworth House a few years ago when they still had the miniature railway running in the grounds, and they brought out their steam loco for the annual evening BBQ. It was rather warm and the injectors packed up when the loco was halfway...
