MuzTrem replied to the thread Isle Of Man Steam Railway.
Apparently Caledonia will be working the 10.00 and 14.00 trains from Port Erin on Sunday, returning from Douglas at 11.50 and 15.50. No word as to whether she will be running on Saturday, however, nor what other locomotives will be running over...

MuzTrem liked 5944's post in the thread The Douglas Bay Horse Tramway.
https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/construction-timetable-emerges-for-extended-horse-tramway-967194? A bit of a wait (to put it mildly) but fingers crossed it'll be open again in a couple of years.

MuzTrem liked James Hewett's post in the thread Southwold Railway.
Yes indeed - we already have a designated maximum of 12 operating days each year. For the rest - we are clear that any quibbles from us and we will get a lot more delay. Not blaming East Suffolk Council - they are doing their very best for us...

MuzTrem liked James Hewett's post in the thread Southwold Railway.
Ha - do not necessarily disagree....but I have to live and work here so will say no more.... From the POV of the Parish Council and many of the residents that they represent, we are a very-much-unwanted intrusion into their peace, which is what...

MuzTrem liked pmh_74's post in the thread Southwold Railway.
It isn't necessarily in perpetuity; if the railway wished to extend further, in future, they could wrap up a variation of conditions in a subsequent application. Noise and emissions concerns I can understand (even if my personal experience is...

Bluenosejohn liked Flying Phil's post in the thread Windcutter Wagons.
Six and a bit people were in action today and B 560676 is virtually complete once the "W" iron is riveted in place. So attention has turned to B590067 which needs a new floor and will also get a new end to replace the badly buckled and...

Romsey liked jonathonag's post in the thread RTC Great Britain: 24/4/27 to 1/5/27.
It's an interesting tour, but I'd say that once in Scotland, it very much becomes a Routes and Branches/Branch Line Society style tour rather than the usual GB we've known. Is this the first time that the tour hasn't been advertised as...

YorkyLad 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.

YorkyLad liked 5944's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
What's even more baffling than shutting the line for two days in half term is that it's open next week for two days for the diner to run. I also notice that you can book a table of 4 for two people and pay £45 for each empty seat. That means the...

YorkyLad liked cksteam's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
To be frank, the decision to shut any day of school holidays is ridiculous for this railway. I can take closing quieter days of the week outside of holidays, but when schools are off in the region, the railway should be running. You can't sell...

Sheff liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Photographing steam in the Karoo.
Another amazing Karoo sunrise - or in this case maybe 2o minutes after sunrise - the day after a strong wind had blown across the Karoo putting dust and sand up into the atmosphere. 25NC 3502 heads north through Graspan on the 03.50 from De Aar....
