Ben Jenden replied to the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Archie isn't due in service for a bit longer but from what I saw over the weekend previously 73082 replaced 65 and a comment on Facebook states that 65 will run this weekend and that 6989 isn't in use at present...

-------- try again ! 70000 seems to be well on it's way back to Crewe 28 mins early at Searchlight Lane so hopefully today's run will be deemed a success. Earlier in dull and wet conditions :- passing the Kronospan plant at Chirk and after the...

The K&ESR have announced today that 65 won’t be attending their 50th Anniversary gala as it’s needed at home. I thought the Bluebell’s steam fleet was fairly comfortable at the moment with Camelot, the GWR thing, the Standard 4 tank, Fenchurch...

While you are there, perhaps also contrast the approach of the two OP's. The one on the Spa thread expressed their disappointment at not being allowed to enter an event. They made no disparaging comments about the event, or the organisation.

I’ve said it before but the Fairburns would be far better used elsewhere.

Pricing will always be subjective; for me, I'd rather spend my £35 on a day of trains, hopping on and off and exploring walks and other things in the local area because I'm well aware that running and maintaining everything here is an expensive...

Thank you, as ever, for your detailed and regular updates Jonny I appreciate you may not be in a position to answer this, but what is the situation with 828 - how long are you expecting her to stay at TWW beyond the end of the year?

Whoa, hang on. Maunsell Man, rather than contacting the KESR to voice his opinions, decided to air it here instead. If he had contacted the railway, that might have been constructive. Here, it was little more than venting. He is entitled to his...

PortLineParker liked 6960 Raveningham Hall's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
Maybe we should compare and contrast when it comes to how “disappointed” customers are dealt with. On this thread we have Fireline who seems to want to roll up his sleeves and have a fight. Move up the road a few miles to the Spa Valley and a...

Autotank replied to the thread LMS 4F 44422.
Best of luck with the appeal and overhaul. Although 44422 was quite tired when last running on the WSR, I always thoroughly enjoyed firing her. The boiler should be in good nick, but the bottom end probably needs a fair bit of work. A very...
