Weather gets very warm next week and not a lot of rainfall so I suspect fire risk may evolve through the week if current forecast holds

The Gricing Owl replied to the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Err, why would it be spending the summer at the Bluebell please? Bryan PS. The 'please' is me being polite as I usually try to be. And not me expressing pleasure about the diesel spending several months at the Bluebell Railway. Instead of just...

Since the fire risk thread has been moved. Thought I’d update the last forum I posted to with said information. Fire risk is now green nationwide, with a note for the North West of TBC from Saturday.

The Gricing Owl liked John Petley's post in the thread British Pullman 2025.
Thanks for the heads up on this. Well worth a drive to Folkestone Warren to see her. I hope @gricerdon enjoyed his trip, although it's hard to imagine he didn't; what's there not to like about a trip around Kent on a lovely spring day behind one...

And so it was John! Photted climbing past Bickley station and going well up the grade. Taken from Blackbrook Bridge where our (myself and @gricerdon ) hobby started many decades ago. When Dad and Mum drove their growing family down a lineside...

The Gricing Owl replied to the thread Nene Valley Railway.
Sorry to bring up photo charters again, but I've never been on a UK one and as I have expressed an interest in them recently I wonder if there is a general thread concerning charters. I'd like to get a better feel for how they operate. Thanks...
