Looking at the Friday and Saturday TTs, they could probably only be used on one more single trip, then other people would complain that their...
The BL loco compound will indeed be its base, with additional security measures.
Yes, and Network Rail are allowed to charge the heritage railway whatever they want for the service! Network Rail infrastructure trains have...
If they want to keep the paintwork in good condition, then they need to get Network Rail to cut back the vegetation which touches the trains in...
I used to note the numbers of the coaches on incoming excursions when I was a Guard on the WSR, and the most recently that I've seen a Mk3 working...
GWR sent some people down to do some gauging work in preparation for today's trip a month or so ago, so presumably it was them who decided Mk3s...
I don't know the official reasons, but I can think of a couple: 1) I assume you are thinking of having it in the yard where any 'trip hazards',...
What date is that, and why?
53808, 53809, 6960, 44422, 7820, 7822 are all likely to be in steam at various times this summer. I believe 5199 is due to leave early June.
An amendment to the Ops notice issued today (Wednesday 10th) states that there is a change to the plans mentioned previously for Thursday 11th....
That suggests that 6960 and 53808 are due to be swapped at Minehead, on the arrival of either the 1020 BL or 1435 BL.
And it invalidates its Network Rail Fitness to Run certificate, so would need to be re-examined before returning to the mainline.
There are no plans for a GWR shuttle from Taunton at this year's gala.
There is a book available from most shops on the line (and on-line from MD shop) describing many walks based around the WSR - only £5!...
All seems to be working again, but trains up to an hour late.
I've been watching as well. The arrival of the 0950 BL was flagged in after the crossing was operated manually. This suggests to me that there is...
From the WSR Facebook page: 53809 will double-head on Saturday on the following services - MD dep 8.55 - Goods NF dep 11.00 - Goods BL dep...
Although the track has been renewed, there is no change to the layout so locos still have to go out over the crossing.
I don't know the answers to your first 2 questions, but, from the ops notice leading up to the gala, A4 should be the blood & custards.
At least one of the blood & custard repaints has BR crests on it. I believe that WSR crests could not be applied to these coaches as the transfers...
