    Thay has applied on heritage lines for quite a few years and with the HST's with slam doors in the West Country as well. " Where is the door open button?" must be uttered hundreds of times per day on heritage lines..... Cheers, Neil

    I've just noticed some very important news that has just been published on the MNLPS website: https://www.clan-line.org.uk/news/clan-line-passes-its-vab-and-boiler-inspection/ It's funny how some loco owners just go about what they do without...

    I agree with you to a certain extent, both organisations are led by individuals who have questionable ethics and attitudes towards others - you could argue both are successful businessmen because of their ruthlessness. However, ruthlessness (and...

    Almost certainly WCRC will get the delay attribution for any consequential delays or cancellations. The situation was complicated by wind blown debris caught in the OHLE around Craigendoran Jn. I think rail replacement buses are meant to be paid...

    As one who sees things from both sides of the camera lens I will say that the only people who know what’s really going and why there is diesel assistance are the support crew or those on the footplate. There are those of us who attend galas for...
