    Even if the line is not running heritage services on a particular day, it doesn't automatically mean the line is available - railways use days (and weeks) with no trains to have planned infrastructure maintenance. That all gets more fraught if...

    Not negativity, just people being realistic why it can't and won't work. What would be the point in running through to Bewdley? To take people to Bewdley? They can get the SVR services that run there, or take the bus. To take people from Bewdley...

    Another thought that occurs to me is what it does to SVR pricing. You could lose revenue by people either not travelling at all on SVR services, or doing one-way on the [national rail]. Then you'll get the "I can travel the line for £x, why...

    I haven't seen the poster you are referring to, but it's probably Mattel that are responsible for the design of it, not the NYMR.

    Echoes of 1997 when we had the same issues. Took nearly a year to get the license having cleared the area of reptiles. By the time we were laying track they were back and didn't seem bothered by us or the trains. Nature is quite resilient.

    The preferred method of operating steam locos is smokebox facing south. However, locos are occasionally turned to even out tyre wear. Despite all the doom and gloom the railway is a wonderful line when things are going to plan and well worth a...
