Agreed, but they have to be managed very carefully. The Heritage Railway Association has provided updated guidance to its members and is...
The disagreement was with some of those that I met! The one thing that was consistent was a desire to see the railway succeed even if agreement...
I'd take issue with that. If you only go where you're not going to be challenged then much of the benefit of "walking about" is missed....
Very much agree. The first step is recognise that the pendulum has already swung and accept that, wherever it ends up, it's pretty certain to...
I believe the major challenge to heritage railways generally is that their traditional business model may no longer work. The romantic ideal of a...
I understand it's inevitable because of the nature of two stroke operation involving lubricating oil being ejected from the exhaust. Despite...
Agreed, but first we need to accept that there is a problem to be dealt with. Simply accepting that it's what Deltics do is unlikely to be an...
As you probably know some railways already take the precaution of photoshopping their published material for exactly that reason. As you say...
Indeed I enjoyed it. What a marvellous sound! But I also had my head in my hands. That's the sort of video evidence that could do huge damage to...

Which rather proves the point! Yes, photos of diesels emitting smoke ARE more interesting. It's also why photographers on steam photo charters...
Maybe not what Breva intended but it's hard to put any other interpretation on it. There are photos and video on social media that enthuse about...
Revelling in the emission of diesel smoke and clag, especially publishing pictures and videos of it, puts the future of heritage diesel at risk....
Believe me I understand and value the ethos of volunteering and the contribution of volunteers. With 10 working turns on two heritage railways...
I suggest you're making the mistake of thinking of the NYMR simply as a heritage railway. Driven primarily by fundraising potential it's being...
Perhaps if you regard it as just a heritage railway. In practice it’s an £8million plus turnover Charity that by that measure is in top 2% of UK...
Not through choice! When planning consent was secured for construction of the Weighbridge tea room one of the conditions was that opening is...
As a Levisham signalman I’m biased of course but it’s good to be able to agree on something. The welcome from the tea hut team is as warm as the...
You’re making a big assumption that it’s a failing business model! I could equally well argue that abandoning a successful business model would...
The statement that much of what was covered by YMJ has no relevance to Whitby services confirms the level of misunderstanding. The development and...
