    The NYMR, listen to advice from outside? (That was probably the unstated subtext to your explicitly humourous post; just making it explicit.)

    Actually, the NYMR's present management could probably do with some help in running any sort of appeal. It's successful ones were the product of earlier eras.

    I'm sure a well known signalman at both establishments could carry the message if desired... :)

    Assuming this is related to the NYMR bridge not ours, may be best off in that thread?

    GWR Hawksworth inspection saloon 80975 has arrived at GWSR from Llangollen this week:

    IMG-20260217-WA0018.jpg

    Soon to be available for all the usual private hire type things you might expect, just needs some light refurbishing and an operational methodology as it's obviously not something we've done before/not for a long time.

    How much to hire on Gold Cup day? :eek::)
    I’m sure it will prove very popular with race goers.

    Can always ask the SVR how we operate our 2 Gw Saloons.

    As the Infrastructure Blog for some reason, really doesn't want me to log in to comment, I thought I'd post a message of congratulations here. The departments "Protect and Survive" model is very obviously one to look to for the rest of the sector. Many times, I've looked at the blog and thought "My God, you're being thorough!". Just goes to show, it's really the only way. Very, very well done.

    After I worked out that you must have meant the Drainage blog, I checked, and it seems to be accepting comments from Blogger users - I posted something a few days ago.
