pete12000 liked Johnb's post in the thread Lakelander Tours 2024.
I agree, it makes it a bit pointless to try and compare what happens now to the situation in steam days. Operations then were geared to a crew of average ability and locomotives in average condition that could range from an ex works engine to a...

You did better than I did on my visit last Friday morning (17/5/24) with the drizzle was just setting in, as seen here[ATTACH] When I first saw this engine in preservation store at Carnforth in August '68 it was the intention back then that it...

That is my experience too Mike. There seems to be an assumption by some on here that you cannot have a good steam run if there is a diesel on the back and that is so untrue. Of course nothing is garunteed with or without a diesel but most steam...

The simple reason is that Holgate and the Leeds lines through Church Fenton have an engineers possession on them today. This was deemed the most expedient way round this. Peter.

Isambard! liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I agree wholeheartedly. IMHO it is a case not just of what the Trust tells us, but also how it tells us and the extent to which it is more of a 2-way discussion that a 1-way 'this is the plan, that's it' approach. I realise that the 'new' Board...

Isambard! liked ghost's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

Isambard! liked MellishR's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
That is surely exactly what EA was set up to do, except that it's only allowed to do it on part of the route. Meanwhile the Trust has been spending a lot of cash without acquiring any route yards at all apart from the pub.
