No regular steam service out today other than the premium Tornado one. Are they doing this to push people to pay extra to travel behind Tornado? If not you have to say it is a complete joke.

At the risk of starting another paintfroth/livery debate, but I feel a bit confused about one aspect regarding the tender changes. Am I correct in saying that 34070 is receiving the new build high sided tender from 34007, 34070's tender is going...

Assuming 34007 is going into Malachite Green, then it would require a higher sided tender tank, whereas 34072's current one is a cut down version.

It is a consideration but they already blank out carriages from online booking, I assume expecting walk ups on the day. You could still have the book seats deal with particular carriages saved for the 'rover' option. You could also stick a limit...

What I found interesting in that document was that all, bar one, of the pictures of operating services, show steam locomotives. So I assume the message that steam sells is clear to someone.

We've been quiet of late due to excessive heat and lack of bodies making working party's atop the hill a non starter! Yesterday however, we made it to the yard, it was a bit of a slow day, but progress was made non the less on the workshop PMV....
