The 1015 off BL is the busiest outward but the 1430 off MD is the busiest back, so either way, most passengers get a trip on each. Not really sure what the WSR livery policy is to be honest! Was originally blood and custard to identify what was...

Watching the YouTube livestreams, it seems that the WSR are only using their recently overhauled blood & custard set of coaches on the second steam diagram (the one that just does the one return trip), with the mixed chocolate & cream/ maroon set...

Not at all as planned I had a ride in the Hawksworth Saloon back from Norden this afternoon. A very impressive coach, with a nice smooth ride I felt. Having since Wednesday lunchtime been doing very little in the hope I might have felt well...

The official date for reopening of the bridge is currently the 23rd May. However, as that coincides with the start of the Thomas week, which effectively splits the railway in half, Pickering-Whitby through services won't be starting until Monday...

Had a very enjoyable visit to the SVR today, was great to travel behind 4930 'Hagley Hall' for the first time since completion of its overhaul (and in matching GWR stock, no less). The afternoon brake van trip behind the L&YR Pug was a positively...

[ATTACH] Day one of the KLR gala, we were running up and down the portable set up in shed yard alongside the 15in. Quite fun parallel running with the departing trains as they left the station at Clayton west. Last trip was the entire active...

Very nice to meet up at Medstead and Four Marks station, great chatting with you. And I do like your varied coverage of today. My day didn't go to plan after my 09.00 arrival for a full day at Medstead. On parking my car I noticed some minor...

Beautiful day down in Hampshire today. The countryside really does look glorious when the sun comes out! Gala went went well today - everything ran almost to time and the locos all seemed to behave themselves! It was obviously the right move...

Little theatrics from 34028 at Hasland this afternoon; understandable given the conditions, but still nice to see her on the mainline for the first time nonetheless! [MEDIA]

Super, looking forward to the gala and planning how I travel behind smaller engines. As a boy in the 70s and young railwayman in the early/mid 80s I enjoyed my many WSR trips - once having Victor and Vulcan double headed and in 1978 Vulcan and...
