  3. Chris86 liked Kirk Oswald's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.

    Bit like the middle east really, one side says it had an agreement but that doesn't mean anything has been agreed. It strikes me as more PR balls from Carnforth just trying to put a positive spin from the dire straits of the Lune. I think it was...

  4. meeee replied to the thread FR & WHR & WHHR News.

    Given that none of those locos actually work at the moment it really does seem like an impossible dream. None of the FR NWNGR coaches are dual braked and there are no plans to do so either. The siding at Beddgelert is not closed according to...

  5. GOEdwards liked Adam Tandy's post in the thread 60019 Bittern.

    This is purely an observation of course, but I wonder if a potential solution in the long run (though obviously not this year) could be to consider bringing back some of the previous Saphos Trains excursion itineraries that used to run through/to...

  7. 26D_M liked 5944's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.

    Ulterior motive? Like the fact they've realised that they've agreed to operate dozens of tours for RTC but can't resource them if the Jacobites run and the 5s are in Scotland? 34067 will be tied up being used as a Northern Belle headboard for...

  8. 26D_M liked Sheff's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.

    I totally share your scepticism. Nothing new there, just confirms what we already know, but now it’s out in the public domain. My take away is that there’s currently no exemption granted. Ulterior motive? Draw your own conclusion.

  9. GOEdwards liked Sidmouth's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.

    As I understand matters 60007 and 61306 will be at Bishops lydeard for the Riviera's and presumably northbound Marches 70000 and 71000 at Southall for tours with steam on from the London area and presumably 60532 and 34046 at Crewe for tours...
