YorkyLad liked D7076's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Two very busy days at NYMR . Many Whitby trains had plenty of passengers standing and even the first train ex Whitby had no empty bays by Grosmont . How much revenue will not be earned in the next two days ? 4079 on Alleleys trailer this...

I travelled behind Newstead today as part of the half price half term offering and it handled the relatively well filled 5 coaches with ease. Lovely little loco.

USA tank 65 is back in one bit, and made it as far as Tenterden yesterday. More work to do, and running in, but it's back.

Sounds good for income. However the NYMR’s CDL exemption says that they can’t carry more passengers over the EVL than there are seats. I wonder if they try and enforce it or just ignore it?

Somewhat lost in recent postings was another "First" for the GCR and the benefits of its double track. During the recent Gala there were Two Windcutter rakes in operation and they were pictured passing just North of Quorn station by Brandon...

burnham-t liked Zoomeg's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Bob (full name Symes Schutzmann) stood as the Liberal candidate in the 1974 General election for the Mid Sussex seat where I lived at the time (losing to Tim Renton). I remember seeing him at a model railway exhibition in Wembley in 1982 showing...

paullad1984 liked Big Al's post in the thread Managing the chaos 60 Years ago.
Next time you are stationary on the M25, M5 or M6 spare a thought for the locomotive crews of the mid sixties on the Southern as they tried to keep the railway on time whilst the engineers re-laid the permanent way and upgraded the signalling...

I understand that 34028 is being used on: 11/11 to Canterbury 21/11 to York 10/12 to Bristol (the long way) 12/12 to Bristol (the short way) And 15/12 to Eastbourne. This just leaves 14/11, 25/11 and 19/12 to be covered, one would assume, by...

silversteellady liked Wagoniester's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
I can't help but feel (personally speaking) that the half term week is the wrong time to do this style of one-trip-only operation. Most families will be looking for a day out rather than an hour or so. Part of me also wonders if the loco has...

silversteellady liked 73108's post in the thread 2026 Entries/Returnees and Withdrawals.
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....
