I have to agree with you Steve. Being a mainline driver means being able to cope with simultaneous traction and "railway environment" issues,...
Re: B1 (6)1306 I believe that DCR have certified a small number of drivers themselves. There are certainly people involved that are more than...
Have you considered working in the mainline railway industry? Far more money, less politics and it's still an interesting environment. There's...
Re: NYMR Incident? Posting this as a private individual, I too think that this thread would be better locked or removed, and the investigation...
From what I've seen at the Moors, it's not so much a shortage of young people wanting to volunteer, more of adults that are willing to accept the...
The most relevant thread on here for some time. Far more important than the "Let's build a new....", etc ones. Heritage outfits are facing a...

It's a more sensible idea than many new build projects - simple, robust, ideally suited to 25mph branch lines. I'm not going to hammer teenage...
As others have posted, not going to happen without going through full mainline driver training. There are, however, plenty of people with said...
On a more immediately useful note, S15 825 back in traffic after ejector repairs.
Class 67. Makes an S160 look like a quality job.
TPO's in Tyne Yard. Various vans, incl. some steam era types in Peterborough. One very aged (1930's?) 4 wheel tank wagon in Doncaster Belmont.
