    I went on the Sunday and really enjoyed myself. It didn't seem to busy and I got a seat on all the trains. Really liked Fenchurch and No. 29, nice to see the little engines take centre stage. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    Just to add with the Fenchurch Train and indeed other locals we are a little limited as to what we can do with what coaches for a few reasons. Firstly the paid carriage cleaners (mentioned above) also doubled up as a majority of our paid...

    It's good to hear positive feedback from some of those who travelled - the one's who really matter. As RTC have acknowledged that the GB relies on a large team; many of them are unsung heroes (and heroines). I'd like to mention one particular...

    My favourites from a fantastic gala on the Valley. Credit to everyone involved, just shows you don’t always need a big headliner. The gala had something for everyone and it was great to see that there was always something going on and that you...

    Really great to see these back in use, the variety of carriages at the SVR really are something special. Regards galas, you will never please everyone - especially not railway enthusiasts who are notoriously fickle!

    Well done to all involved in organising and running this mammoth tour. I enjoyed it immensely, both the railway side and getting to meet some of you after many years of seeing the tour from the other side of the lineside fence. Yes, I would have...

    An interesting debate but it's very much a personal viewpoint and just because a particular gala doesn't "rock your boat" it doesn't mean to say it's bad. There are a great number of events going on and unless you have unlimited time and money...
