Catch points have not been fitted on passenger only lines for many many years - their presence was largely for the benefit of unfitted trains,...
I believe (having been curious and thus checking back through the 43 messages archived) that, yes, there has been an update posted. Once. In 2023....
I think you're thinking of SRRL 24, formerly of the Fairbourne and now at Cleethorpes. The RHDR Pacifics ran the Bure Valley service for the first...
From a complete outsider's perspective, regardless of any animosity between @Elizabeth Perry and the line's current management - suggesting that...
Well, in simple numbers, FR Society membership is £41 (though I think its about to go up if I recall the AGM correctly), WHR society membership is...
FR society membership gives free travel on the FR (10 times pa - the FfWHR, like every other heritage railway, only does day tickets so staying...
The FR had moved away from waste oil towards fuel oil (aka red diesel) well before it moved away from oil firing. I would put it at some point in...

That's where I'd figured out as well, though my comment about bigger than Buckley Wells was based on the whole site - on reflection and looking at...
I'm pretty sure I've identified the site on Google Earth - if I'm right it is bigger than Buckley Wells (both shed and yard). As @ianh says, all...
With regards to the randomness of saying it is "Rail" 200, given that the NRM held an event celebrating that exact same anniversary 20 years ago...

Thankfully, it looks like the director of transport in Blackpool has given a reassurance that the suspension is indeed temporary, and that the...
