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...

From the Railway Touring Company (via Facebook) 'That's a wrap, yesterday was the final day of our Great Britain XVI and what a fantastic 9 days we have all had. So many highlights, too many to list them all but to travel over 2000 miles by...
