JEB-245584 liked Johnb's post in the thread RTC 2026.
The route is through largely arable farming area areas almost all the way with tender dry crops either side of the line. I’m very surprised it isn’t black restriction , ie no steam, today, just be thankful it’s there

Yes, I take your point. Although I would point out that the general purpose of publicity is to try to reach as many people as possible, not just those who make an effort to go looking for it.

Interesting responses to my post about diesel not being the same turn off that it was. It seems to have sparked some debate. My observation though was rooted in watching the daily ticket sales of a railway and access to 20 years of detailed...

The NYMR is on a knife edge with regard to motive power at the moment. I'm told that 37688 has failed and it looks like 44806 is, apparently, the sole 'Whitby' loco and will have to shuttle back and forth between Grosmont and Whitby. That...

Not being funny but is it? I feel like steam has been on a knife edge since whenever they first set fire to a National Park. Steam on preserved railways has been the default expectation since the start but isn't always practical. But how you...

Thanks for the picture but <pedant mode on> 7029 Clun Castle was built to a GWR design but by BR in 1950.

TPWS fault? Not sure about your last point - the roster is showing 37688 and 31466 working consecutive departures from Pickering in the afternoon. Odd that 47077 is only rostered for first and last trips.

That roster shows 37688 as being out on internal services, as well. If it has failed, is it just something to do with the equipment required for EVL service, not sure why 31466 has also been pressed into service. That makes four diesel’s and one...
