Musket The Dog liked Jon Lever's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
My emphasis in the above quote. It's a point you've made before, but I don't think it's true. A couple of questions: 1. The earliest Mk1 is 1951 (I think), the last Bulleid designed coach was built in 1949 (or thereabouts). Why might an example...

If your job/livelihood depends on the success of the NYMR, then surely that's all the more reason not to be constantly slagging them off on a public forum like this. It's getting to the point where they could announce Mallard on a set of 12...

No need. Whilst Black 5s are great locos we don't need them down south. If the RTC can get as much Pacific work as possible then with the standard length train of 10 vehicles, the wretched diesel can just power the air con and everyone is happy....

It’s tough because unfortunately infrastructure is extremely expensive, especially when you’re running big and heavy locos. Railways are changing with the times, unfortunately there are fewer and fewer trained and qualified people with first...

The Dainton Banker liked 60044's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

The Dainton Banker liked SECR 65's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I think, the most important things to typical visitors of heritage lines (not enthusiasts) are: That information provided is accurate, up to date, and easily accessible. That facilities are suitable on site - catering, toilets, etc That the...
