Groks212 replied to the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2026.
Back in March 1999 80098 ran an evening railtour named The Night Owl, which was a circular trip from Nottingham to Sheffield, (out via Barrow Hiil and return via Dronfield). It was originally supposed to be an ECS run to test out a new spark...

The Dainton Banker liked ross's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
My notion was ramps that are fixed to the vehicle, akin to that in the back of our toyota for our daughter's wheelchair. The ramp is always there, and we are never looking around for a trained person and the keys to unlock the ramp from the...

ghost liked Breva's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
