Although I booked on this, I decided to give it a miss first thing for various reasons. The loss of Bradford to Shipley was one straw, but a bad...
Looking like 60163 for this one at the moment.
A great day out on immensely rare track, with something for everyone. In my case, there was the matter of completing the lines north of Inverness...
Yes, November 2016 via Ledbury. I believe Ray Churchill was on 44871 (lead locomotive), but happy to be corrected. We also carried a pheasant on...
A couple of pubs will do.
Haverfordwest was once my stamping ground, and I'd suggest it's an hour too long these days! Indeed, Sunday opening hours have little effect on...
Yes.
Here's hoping for some rain soon, but pleased to tick this stretch of track off with steam at the front. Currently waiting time at Bletchley.
Thank you.
Indeed, but a case of taking the rough with the smooth. Also wondering whether it's taking the slow or fast lines at Sharnbrook - RTT only...
One of those trips that suffers a slew of bad luck but manages to keep going. Would have liked steam over Harringworth again after I've been...
I'm not currently booked on other legs - sadly, my employment for the past eight years ends today following redundancy, so currently looking for...
Likewise, Alan. Think it's a case of grabbing the chance while it's there, as I suspect steam north of Dingwall - or Brora at the very best -...
I've booked on it to fill in a missing section to Wick on the steam map, and also to say I've done a return steam journey between Inverness and...
It's good news, but it's for Matt to post when he's ready.
A couple of new tours have been advertised for October-November, taking in the reinstated section between Bicester and Bletchley.
Yes, as well as the cowling over the front of the smokebox, which helped direct air flow to create some lift around the chimney.
Looking rather fine, and would have certainly been a colourful sight in the post-war gloom. It seems odd that the full Belle regalia hasn't...
Possibly, possibly not. The basic timings were already on RTT, so last minute revisions notwithstanding, the principle was probably fine.
Received an email from them yesterday and decided to transfer to another trip. The justification was lack of bookings and operational issues, so...
