Pretty sure they communicate via walkie talkies but others might know better. Not sure what the gradient is from Barrow via Dalton to the summit at Lindal in Furness as it’s then downhill to Ulverston .

keith6233 liked 6026 King John's post in the thread Saphos 2024.
Not necessarily - I don't fit into either of those groups. I'm a 60 year old who doesn't remember steam in BR days. I developed an interest both in steam and the history of the railways in my thirties. It's something that has given me enormous...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Couple of shots from yesterday, stunning loco. Look forward to a ride on a line which tests her a bit more as only a brief bit of the Grange bark from her on what is an easily graded line.

And the lazy photo of the return trip at Acton Bridge, with almost every southbound train taking the Up Slow line. [ATTACH]

Hardly a straw as neither you or I know what has been said to the crews of Tangmere or the 47 by Network Rail on the day.

Mick45305 liked Bulleid Pacific's post in the thread Cumbrian Coast Express 2024.
Listening on the train, there was a small lineside fire reported in the Maryport area, so not surprised if a view was taken to minimise risk and gingerly take the climbs around Barrow. Overall, enjoyed it - all smoothly operated and another...

Mick45305 liked 2857Harry's post in the thread Cumbrian Coast Express 2024.

Gladiator 5076 liked green five's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
I visited today with my Dad and sister to go to the Watercress Festival in Alresford for the first time. Blimey! I didn't realise how many people actually attend this event. The top and tail Class 20 shuttles between Ropley and Alresford were...
