I notice the Severn Valley Enterprise for next July now has a revised itinerary. For the steam line bashers amongst you, it seems Wichnor...
From an unpromising start, I felt this turned out to be a bit of an epic trip. Diesel assistance was sensible rather than incessant, and 44871...
Aye, and the Town Cryer has gone down well, too. Bass next...
No. Abergavenny demonstrated the stark difference in performance.

Glad it seems to be broadly doing what it says on the tin, as the itinerary is probably a more complex ask than it might seem. So, looks like a...
I don't know. Whilst the lack of Barnsley was a disappointment, there was a bit of track for those who needed it at Salford Central. Also, whilst...
Great to meet you, too. It was a pretty good day out in the end, despite the loss of Stoke and the slow progress into Crewe.
