Good to hear you're facing the challenges of railtour operation 'head on'. A few thoughts I had that might raise some revenue in Standard (probably not just VT specific, but wondered if they'd been considered): Improving the Standard catering...

Crossing the Trent and Mersey canal, by Colwich lock No 21, Mallards by request (sort of). Canals are no better than railways for the encroachment of the canalside trees. The movement of the A4 was 86 minutes late, a check on the disruptions...

A message from Ian Crowder on Facebook. <BJ> "As the railway's press officer, I have spoken to the Editor and the picture has been taken down. His argument was that it provided geographical context but appreciated that she fell from a road motor...

silversteellady liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Swanage Railway General Discussion.
For the second year in a row the weedkiller train (that I had been checking RTT for but missed due to my Dad being ill over the weekend) ran on a wet day. I only happened to see it by chance when I heard an unusual diesel horn and noticed it...

silversteellady liked staffordian's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
Personally, I don't see any speculation. All I see is a very poor article which many will wrongly interpret as a failure by the railway. I will admit that was my first thought but quickly realised this was very far from being the case. I just...

silversteellady liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread Saphos Trains 2026.
The heavy overnight rain (hopefully meant no fire risk?! - but who knows) petered out by mid-morning and the afternoon became sunny. I was unable to watch the morning train head north on the WCML so watching the return was essential. The easy...

silversteellady liked Spamcan81's post in the thread V2 4771 Green Arrow to return?.
Regarding the T1 claims, back in the good old days of yahoo groups, I was on a US steam forum. The more levelheaded US fans regarded the claims for the T1 as quite fanciful and not worthy of serious consideration. Speed is not just about...

I did say it was going to be good :):) The only operational coaches not running at some point over the weekend (to my knowledge) are 4957, 16012, 25728, Car 54 and the Great Northern Saloon. I believe this will also be the first time RBR 1674...

Bluebell on Parade event details and timetable have been published. As theorised, Pullmans included with SR stock. I think nearly every available coach will be out during the weekend? Sunday cavalcade too - that was unexpected....
