    Hopefully they have negotiated a suitably daft hire rate with the production company that it ensures its next overhaul is funded- the cost and waste in TV and film is ridiculous so they will hopefully get a good bite at the cherry. Chris

    The best comment on there so far is someone saying it's a Western Region 4-6-0 so they could have used anything including a Manor and a Castle and it would have looked the same! ;) Cheers, PLP

    I have seen that previously. I was just checking the website for both the giants of steam and diesel gala so I could update my calendar and noticed it was suddenly gone. Good to see it back up.

    A friend of mine (who’s ex BR and has free travel) did the RHDR in a day from Leeds last year. Not sure what trains and times. He doesn’t drive and seems to be able to get to most railways on day trips using rail and bus.
