hhs5 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...

Mike Wylie liked torgormaig's post in the thread Lakelander Tours 2024.

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...

Deepgreen replied to the thread Steam Dreams 2024.
Why, because the ECS to Windsor also includes a bizarre mixture of 100mph EMU, 75mph EMU and 60mph diesel timings, and that's just on the Clapham Junction to Windsor section, as well as the outward run showing as 100mph EMU, 75mph diesel and...
