  1. class8mikado liked Just_Sayin's post in the thread Jacobite 2024.

    44932, 44767 and if the rumours are true 45110. Not sure the 8F with its long wheelbase is as suitable as the 5s are.

    Plus I think the limited amount of what he says to press, and what he does, are two quite different things.

    I think that’s a gross underestimation of the logistics of operating the Jacobite. The full service needs 14 coaches plus a couple of spares, Ian Riley’s engines come with one part time driver (Ian Riley) and it needs three steam and at least two...

    I believe they are the tarped over coaches in the sidings at Herston. (Check the image I PM to you the other day). Well the railway did manage to store 9 diesels during the gala. The U should be holidaying in Kent, Jenny Lewis jollying on the...

    West Coast have operated the service safely for over 30 years and cannot be faulted in that respect. The regular loco crews know the line and it’s operational difficulties well, the regular morning train guard, Florence is a legend with one of...

  10. Jon Lever liked Dead Sheep's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.

    I have not seen anywhere that Fireline speaks on behalf of the KESR*, so knocking the KESR as providing 'hostile' responses is deeply unfair. You cannot judge a railway organisation on the basis of one person's opinion, especially when it is not...

    Opinions are funny things. I have seen no aggression other than from the original poster that kicked this sub debate off. Maybe I spent too much of my working life in aggressive negotiations and contract management to be so touchy.
