I agree, the magic comes from the not knowing. Last winter I was driving to the tip, which is near Temple Meads station in my home city of...
What was the repair that needed to be carried out?
Good news - and a post to bookmark for when someone trots out the old "Sustrans are bas****s who hate steam railways" on every thread about...
I wonder if more lines could promote the National Trust model of a working holiday where there's a defined project to complete over a two-week period?
That's more like it; a bit of positive lateral thinking! There was stuff in the local press yesterday on the back of the government's PR...
Fair enough...everything is relative. I suppose we only hear from a select group of indivduals on this message board, but it's frustrating - and...
I refer m'learned friend to my post above! "But even if it runs well, the wait at Taunton, the stop-start grind out of Taunton, then the wait at...
As others have pointed out, the frequency of the service shouldn't be knocked! However the last time I used it (last year) the bus failed to...
What a pity. I live in Bristol (along with 450,000 others) and Taunton's only half an hour away by train. But the faff of getting to Bishop's...
For the unenlightened, what are the obstacles to reinstating the fourth track alongside the main line from Norton Fitzwarren to Taunton's bay...
Does anyone know if the Santa Specials run the full length of the line? Tempted to pop along with the family, but only if we get a ride on the...

Tar spray and chip (eg http://esc-surfacing.co.uk/surface_dressing.html) is an economic and low-maintenance alternative to resin-bonded gravel,...
Good grief, there's a lot of vitriol on here. It's perfectly possible to fit out a shop in a heritage style, keeping the fireplace on show. Some...
It was a decent gala, Bitton felt busy. You might be wise to charge for platform tickets though, the station looked considerably busier than the...
I suspect I'm not the only one who prefers the "before" shot. Gilding the lily?
I'd be interesting to know how many of those who complain about CoB's incarceration have actually visited Thinktank. I was in Brum on business...
The world is a poorer place without him, that's for sure. I'm particularly grateful that in his latter years he saw fit to dispose of his locos to...
Now there's the prototype for the next cut-&-shut austerity!
Perhaps not a rush hour squeeze, but busier than I've seen the ESR before. The car park was full when I left at 1pm. Great atmosphere, with...
