unslet liked acorb's post in the thread Fire Risk.
This was the first time the system has been used on a broad basis and quite right too. Apparently issued at the request of the emergency services. It might drum some sense into those who seem completely oblivious to the danger, like the idiots...

ykin01 liked torgormaig's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.
Well while much of the UK sweltered on the hottest day of the current heatwave here is Thursday afternoons Jacobite standing in a very wet Arisaig - no steam ban here:). At 21-22 degrees it was about 15 degrees cooler than some of the hottest...

Old Kent Biker liked DaveE's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I am going to give one exception to what I have put above. The Thorpe Park carriages served a purpose, and very well at Woody Bay, until the heritage carriages became available. Any extension, or new area such as Blackmoor, that becomes...

All in the notion of making the L&B something it never was and you loose the charm of the Little Train to Lynton. Some of the stations may be able to have longer platforms but to be honest, as soon as you do that, you loose that uniqueness and...

90733 and 5775 are currently being overhauled. The Jinty was extracted from Oxenhope earlier this year for assessment. The S160 is also been assessed.

A “like” for that would feel wrong, but thank you for the explanation; and my heartfelt sympathy for your situation. Tom

FWIW, I too support @Dumb buffer 's stance, having spoken to @Lineisclear in person a little while ago last time he was at Winchcombe box, so folks can take my word for it too if it helps. We may disagree on a lot here, but John is always up for...

There is no need to take my word for it's the truth. Lineisclear has given his reasons on another forum why he is standing down. I'm not going to repeat why as it's not my place and it's his choice what and where he makes this public. There are...

Paul Grant liked DaveE's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Just as a point of interest. As we know the L&B is fairly limited to a maximum of 5 carriages per rake except for very occasional longer rake specials such as the closing of the line train due to platform lengths. Most platform lengths on the...

I really wouldn't read anything into this. I believe there are personal reasons why Lineisclear has resigned that are nobody's business apart from his. I have seen an explanation elsewhere from him so let's leave the spurious speculation behind.
