The Gricing Owl liked David likes trains's post in the thread British Pullman 2024.
My guess would be top and tailed Class 67s, given the train departs Dover via the same way it arrives - to the North. The steam trips are usually circular. The MNLPS website shows Clan Line's next outing as 30th May. Thanks for posting though.

Fireline replied to the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
Ah, but you don't explain in your example why you would be expecting to pay £20. Nowhere in any material for this event was a figure of £20 suggested. Is that your view of a fair fare, so to speak, or a figure from thin air? In this case, the...

Jon Lever liked 35B's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
But the perception about "getting rinsed" is also about the purchaser's price expectations. If I go expecting to spend £20, and am told it will be £30, then that will feel like I'm being rinsed, regardless (a) of whether it is value for money...

Nick C liked Dunfanaghy Road's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
I should add to my last posting: 'In Recycling News; The studs holding the sump under the tank floor are unused cylinder head studs for a Sulzer 8LDA28. Apparently there was a later version for use in the Cromptons, so we were passed the old...

Unless the vegetation has grown up, you can see the tunnel if you go into the field near The Royal Oak and go right up to the railway fence. Though the field may be full of cows. A photo from last year attached, think I was standing on a step...

RailWest replied to the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
By coincidence, I was involved in a similar discussion elsewhere not long ago where a claim had been made that an extension at a heritage site would increase the 'ride' by X%. Given that the length of new track was not much different from the...
