Having seen a Beattie well tank take a goods train down to Boscarne Junction, it was a splendid sight but it struck me that it would be really...
You must be a rich man. Mind you, it is very good and we're all worth it! John
Thanks for sharing these photos. The scene at Wolsztyn station shows plenty of public interest. Sadly, the steam operation at Wolsztyn has...
If you're in the West this coming weekend, you may be interested in our meeting at Redruth Community Centre starting at 6.30 pm. It will the...
I haven't seen a thread about this; forgive me if I've missed one. I've just been reading the new Steam Railway - a report that the Highways...
You could try Village Inn, 88 Water End, Brompton, Northallerton - I stayed there a few years ago for about £40 a night B&B; it was comfortable...
Much though I detest nimbys (why buy a house near a railway that you must have known might be reopened?), I have to say that the preserved railway...
I know there is a lot going on around the country this coming weekend, but the T9 no. 30120 is scheduled to work the day's timetable on the Bodmin...
Whatever the outcome, this atmosphere of uncertainty discourages people generally from booking for any specials. Apart from the train fare for a...
Perhaps this ought to be a PM, but if somebody could be kind enough to scan and/or e-mail a copy to me I'd be grateful. My wife and I had a great...
That sounds like the old days! John
Although I guess the bread and butter is Joe Public, who doesn't care which loco is working as long as it's steam of some kind, there is no point...
This gala, between 1st and 4th May (inclusive) looks good; full details are now available on their website. Each day represents a different era....
Let's hope that steam will run this summer, but it doesn't look very promising. For years I meant to do the steam trip, and finally did it last...
Yes, with narrow gauge we are less insular. I'm a bit of a Darjeeling Himalayan Rly no. 19 groupie, and it's a crowd puller wherever it goes on...
The new local administration decided last year to close all the lines which have operated only for tourists in the summer, including the line to...
Grim news. I travelled on this line last year, and there was a steam operation over the top half - Paimpol to Pontrieux - which has been a...
Yes, it would be nice if there could be a farewell trip over the connection. John
Beeching went about 25% too far. Yes, there was a lot of dead wood in 1963, but there are many places (Tavistock, Caernarfon from Menai Bridge,...
... just as nimbyism will put a stop to reopening the line as a through route. It is very hard to get anything done in England, as far as railway...
