    We had some heavy overnight rain but that wasn't going to change the fire risk level, amber. LSL had chosen to amend their original plan and would add 61306 to the front of whatever diesel had headed the train from Leicester to Crewe. It...

    I believe there has been, for many years, a conspiracy between Network Rail, DfT & ORR to allow lineside vegetation to grow and not be controlled. It’s practically cartel behaviour. For NR & DfT it’s clearly cost cutting, but the Safety...

    Predates that. Many years ago I picked up a glossy brochure at KGX from Railtrack (remember them?) who said that they were creating a large, linear nature reserve by not going to BR levels of lineside management.

    Indeed, it just annoys me that so much modern stock is moved by road when it would seem to be perfectly able to go by rail, given, as you say, suitable inspection.

    Something that they are not particularly good at. Only slowly are they realising that steam crews have sight lines much closer to the cess than on units.

    Of course running an extensive service is expensive - but swapping steam for diesel isn't the panacea that some make out, because most of the costs of running the service aren't due to the traction. How much does your C&W bill decrease if you...

    The SVR's teak set was going to go by rail to the NYMR for a gala a few years ago, but it fell through at the last minute. And a number of Heritage Diesels get towed between railways by rail too. Does make you wonder why more steam locos don't...

    Just amongst Bluebell locos, in recent years we've had 73082 to the West Somerset Railway; 592 to Kings Cross and 34059 to Willesden. No 65 also ran on Network Rail under its own power (not towed) in connection with the rebuilding of Network...
