  1. Diamond Gaz liked Sulzerman's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    It's the biggest weekend and half term of the year in Whitby. The railway is closed today and tomorrow. It's nuts.

    Thanks very much - yes, we heard this morning - a great day for the HSR! Yay indeed! We have now broken out of the station confines.... There are pages and pages of conditions, all of which we have to dealt with before a single piece of track...

  3. Sheff liked The Green Howards's post in the thread Southwold Railway.

    Hmmm. At least what we do is harmless. Perhaps they'd be happier if folk turned up wearing balaclavas and marched through Southwold chanting "Stop The Boats" instead? I also wonder how many of these objectors are truly local or just escapees...

  4. Steve liked Jamessquared's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    An ex company Chairman of ours was quite keen on pointing out that many of our passengers had spent Monday - Friday standing on crowded trains going to work, and didn't want to repeat the experience as part of their leisure. A consequence of...

    Just remind me which railway’s management decided earlier this year decided to reduce ticket prices in the summer school holidays . I suppose we should be grateful NYMR have managed to run any full line trains this week and not replaced them...

    I have been following the progress of 4253 with interest for several years. It's a superb record of the almost unimaginable amount of time, resources, effort, money, successes and setbacks it takes to restore an ex-Barry hulk to working order....

  9. D7076 liked torgormaig's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    There is nothing like seeing what you want to see, is there. If you had been there this week there was widespread comment among the staff that the current set up is crazy. Why force people to travel in uncomfortable over crowded conditions on...

    I’m not sure that the coach tour is as prevalent as it was pre-Covid. It may have recovered somewhat in the last couple of years since I stopped observing, but there was a cliff edge drop in 2020 that was very slow to come back, and hadn’t...

  11. Sam 60103 replied to the thread RTC Great Britain: 24/4/27 to 1/5/27.

    Surely the CDL set of Mk1's would be prioritised for this tour. With that in mind I could imagine 48151 being used to Blaenau. Interestingly enough the suggestion is for just one loco to Stranraer rather than two on every other GB that has gone...
