Kingscross liked theonlyadsrulz's post in the thread Avon Valley Railway Updates and Videos.
The fact is, the industry isn't the same place it used to be. Railways have to start looking to alternative revenue streams in order to make their money so that they can keep the lights on, let alone cover the cost of actually running the trains!...

Steve replied to the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I'm told 45428 was under repair yesterday morning. Not sure what for as I my contact didn't know. 44806 had a minor earth fault on Sunday. Again, i've no idea of the details and whether any damage was caused. Things should be back to normal...

35B liked Bayard's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
As far as I can see, it's an "oh dear" story because once again, the WSR appears to be saying " We need money to keep our railway going, give us lots". Once again, there is almost no indication what the money is going to be spent on and once...

Kirk Oswald liked Sheff's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.
In much the same vein as the much vaunted peace deal that Trump keeps reaching with Iran ?

ghost liked Dunfanaghy Road's post in the thread Remaining Ex Barry locomotives?.
The Belfast & Northern Counties (later NCC) was a fairly prolific user of Worsdell-von Borries compounds, in both standard* and narrow gauges. Pat * Yes, I know it's not 4'8½" :)

silversteellady liked LittleRedTrain's post in the thread Chasewater Railway Coal Trains Day.
I also visited yesterday, my first ever visit to the line (taking advantage of the fact I was staying in Birmingham Saturday night, and there's an hourly direct bus from the city centre to Brownhills West, only 15min walk from the line). Despite...

silversteellady liked burnham-t's post in the thread Thefts and Vandalism.
Deplorable. I wonder whether the BBC was wise to publish photos of the "tags" - is the publicity not one reason the vandals do it? I also wonder whether "urban explorers" who publish photos and videos of "abandoned train carriages" on social...

silversteellady liked Pete Thornhill's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
And out of his mouth too, well endless hot air anyway. Or it could be wind from his backside given how much he talks out of it!!! One example - He was adamant 45110 was off on a low loader back to Carnforth straight off the last train despite...

That’s because we don’t put up with David Moyle and his endless nonsense here (seriously wish you would block him from the Gwsr page for my sanity) ;) Back to 45110, glad it’s staying for a bit be nice to have it local to me again.

It's certainly caused a lot of froth on Facebook, but as we know NatPres is a froth free zone [emoji4]

silversteellady liked Jamessquared's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
I'm kind of surprised it hasn't generated more noise on NP than it has, but for what it is worth, the GWSR Facebook confirmed that 45110 will be based on that railway for a further 6 months (which basically takes you up to the end of November...
