Regarding 34092, one can never say categorically that it will never run on the mainline again, but the principal thing it needs at the moment is...
Indeed.
Considering the 'impossible' jaunt to Walton-on-the-Naze this year, Barnstaple or Okehampton would be rather nice...
Indeed, and that was the reason for booking Hindlow now. As it is money I would spend anyway, it might mean less expenditure in one go later on....
Well, well, Wellington boots. It was around a year ago that I started the 2017 thread, so where the hell's the time gone? Anyway, I digress....
Yes, ditto. It will be a fine weekend of high speed running with 60163 and some rare track in GE territory with 61306.
Indeed. I'm looking forward to paying a visit to the Bluebell when it's in steam (not that that will stop me going before, but it's a case of...
I'm quite pleased with how the trip turned out as it contained 89 miles of new track for me. Quite difficult to get this sort of mileage these days.
Now I have eight hours' sleep under my belt, and am not getting frustrated with being thrown about by a HST, I can say that despite the ominous...
As I type, I'm noticing how crap a HST's suspension is. Anyway, it was very much a track basher's tour, which was why I did it. Despite thinking...

Indeed. If things are running stupidly late, I might have to make a decision at Littlehampton to get back to London sooner as I have an onward...
Looking at the weather, I think the term is definitely 'bracing'. Probably best to dive into the nearest pub at both locations, and hope to...
Will give a wave if I spot you! If that's the case, it seems the Brighton line trundle is pretty long-standing.
A bit belated, but I'm currently in the process of filing the records of my last few trips. This data has proved priceless, as it has allowed me...
Good stuff. The challenge is point to point rather than speed, then.
And in this case, due to the unusual number of destinations involved in this one trip, I'll wheel out my usual 'they get you from A to B, B to C...
Ok, thanks. Whilst Raynes Park is required trackage (and probably impossible to do nowadays as this trip confirms), so is Sutton, so whichever...
Thanks for confirming. Now the question is which way after Epsom?
So that's where I went wrong! To be honest, I've stopped buying it as I can get the facts on the things that interest me from elsewhere for free....
