Gresley's 150th anniversary has been celebrated in Doncaster this morning with an Azuma suitably emblazoned. It's fitting that the Teaks may yet return to service to celebrate the anniversary year. Pic: Richard Clinnick [ATTACH]

The different air / vacuum (air pressure in reverse) are compensated by the use of bigger cylinders for a vacuum system so equalising the brake effort. A vacuum brake can be just as effective as an air system although slower acting, hence the...

With the freakish and frankly dangerous temperatures forecast on Wednesday there must be some doubt that the WME will run. 38C along the Marches with 39 or even 40 around Bristol possible according to the MO.
