There is a story that when the Queen Mother visited many years ago they wanted to give her a non-stop ride on the tramway, but the horse stopped at all the usual stops!

All steam hauled trains are followed through Newtondale to summit by a fire watch team in a road vehicle with equipment to put out any fire that starts before it becomes significant. Fire outside this part of the line are historically quite...

No. See attached. This paper on the site is the copy in Search Engine. Unfortunately Search Engine's copy is missing most of the drawings (the IMechE told me when I enquired that they have no record of this paper). On the comparative cost of...
