alts1985 liked Mike Wylie's post in the thread Lakelander Tours 2024.
Just a note. Class 5s to 7s will get help on severe gradients with big trains. Thats not much different to steam days. One thing that isn't up for debate is how hard they are worked. They are definetly not worked 'within' themselves. They are...

Bluenosejohn 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...

A double dose of the 1930s this morning, just 3 miles from home. As we waited for 44871, just a couple of minutes before the train arrived, I heard an aircraft engine droning overhead and I looked up. A Tiger Moth biplane was passing over our...

Crawley Ben liked NathanP's post in the thread RTC 2024.
It's also worth bearing in mind that the UK day trips are just a small part of RTCs business. The multi-day holidays they organise in this country, as well as Europe and further afield, are entirely unaffected by the WCR situation and, I suspect,...
