Absolutely. They are saying it will be weeks of rain before the hosepipe ban here is lifted. But in terms of the Tynesider on Sat, I could see the...
30mm in Leeds in the last 24 hrs. A long time since we've had that. Gutters and drains tested. More to come in the next couple of days.
See the WCR tours thread for speculation.
I suppose someone can calculate whether 35028 has operated in more years since 1968 than 60103/4472. What else could come close? 7029 perhaps?
What do you mean by winter? I know this year is different, but in an average year I would see April, May and September as prime months for steam.
Could it be that the combination of the two factors you mention plus rising costs/prices and diesel on the back syndrome has caused the market to...
But what is there to say really? Without inside knowledge you can't say for sure what the diesel is doing, though you can have an educated guess...
Isn't it 220 or so steam miles over Beattock and back? That's not bad. The problem for me is more the seventeen hour day and the £270 with no...
A good example of one reason, there are others eg weather, why booking in advance is not to everyone's taste. So I think the three stop ticket is...
Is there a forum where steam operators can get together with NR to discuss matters of common interest like that one?
I think you are quoting the 14 day in advance rover fare. So, for the turn up and go customers the tariff makes a bit more sense.
Could you expand on that? I think the whole access charge regime could be an issue, but as long as freight operating companies and open access...
Absolutely. I think the set up of GBR and the whole access regime and its regulation will be a topic in its own right. The effects of climate...
Does the Met Office agree? ( I'm looking at Shap).
If you look at the current level of activity re steam on the main line and assume the level is stable, how many locos do you need to fulfill the...
Oh I don't know, Capercaillie are not that expensive and well worth seeing. No but nobody here has a well informed demand/supply model. However,...
Isn't that the other way around though--- in the case of FS, the TOC doesn't want to operate the loco. Suppose completely hypothetically that WCR...
I had a day out to Stratford yesterday. Not a bad schedule from Derby, just two stands at signal/loop on the way back. Particularly in the morning...
It probably brings an ironic smile to the punters who have been attempting to do that trip for the last three years. Once upon a time that blurb...
SNG is booked to do the tours on 16 July and 15 Sept. Will 70000 stay in London? You would think Blue Peter is booked to do the bulk of the...
