Its not even as fast as it could potentially be as in the early part of the journey the Earl will actually be held up the 09:03...
Attendance would not have been helped by the fact that you held the event on the same weekend as the Great Central and West Somerset steam galas....
The LNER TPO has been mothballed requiring a major overhaul I believe. It tends to move around the railway in storage in various sidings though I...
For those who can't wait here is Sir Lamiel in Malachite Green double heading with Cheltenham (not the best pic of the loco as never seemed to be...
Yes I suppose the short notice means it can't be widely advertised. Hopefully there will be enough people who are willing to pay to make this...
Thanks to everyone at the GCR for an enjoyable day today. What a fantastic weather morning and late afternoon - only around lunchtime was there...

The BBC haven't got their facts right either. They seem to think that Mallard broke the "world land speed record"! It didn't even break the record...

I wish the WTT (or rather the brochure thingy we tend to get now) could be ordered in advance by visitors. Something for the Winter Gala planners...
You can see that in the passenger timetables on the GCR website. Autumn Gala 4th – 7th Oct | The UK's Only Main Line Heritage Railway
Wow. This is exciting isn't it? :dance:
I think this is now a feature of the Winter Gala as opposed to the Autumn one - as you get more darkness running but don't have to keep going...
I think there is a gauging problem but only in the Down direction. Hence it had to go down to Paignton on a low loader but could come back on the...
I agree blogging info and regular updates is a great way to keep enthusiasts in touch with what's going on. The only trouble is finding someone to...
A great video - I love the way the steam glows green from the signal!
Yes but that doesn't mean it should make a loss!
