So pleased to hear that you are to retain the swing out seats, so much a feature of colonial narrow gauge railways. One of the most surreal "footplate rides" I ever had was on a railtour in Pakistan in 1990. Sitting on said seat, swung out,...

Miff is entirely correct. I'm Maddie, I am currently responsible for looking after 120. It is most likely to steam next, although as you would imagine it is a slow process. 120 is in good condition with a recent works visit in South Africa...

On a visit to Scarborough sea front earlier this year there was a lamp post banner with "diesel" spelt incorrectly on it. It has since been replaced with one with the correct spelling. The promotion of the railway in such a prominent location...

well, there are a theoretical 2365 seats available each day. According to the booking site just now there are still a total of 2024 seats available tomorrow. On Saturday there are currently 1860 seats available. Make your own interpretation.

Hopefully, the disrespectful thugs who spoilt the diesel gala will stay away.

I also missed the Spit on Saturday, but grabbed a few mobile phone shots of the DC3 flypast on Sunday, nicely timed to coincide with Manston's departure. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Just been on the NYMR web site. Clicked on the Thomas Event. Page came up with Thomas on it. Right above Thomas are the words KIDS GO FREE. I know that is not correct, but how many potential visitors see this, go to book and see the actual...

If those figures are correct, the railway would've made more money, by a factor of 3 or 4, running the standard timetable from Pickering to Whitby. How much income has been foregone due to Thomas, £100,000?

Access controls seemed pretty lax anyway. At Cheltenham there was no check/barrier at the top of the ramp like usual. At Toddington, I ended up coming back from the steam rally via the west entrance and although the gate onto the platform was...
