    Sounds good to me, has it been tried? Resolution would need to be good to be used in evidence.

    It's a bit like the festive services - not for everyone, but draws a general audience and helps find the "normal" train running.

    I suspect they neither realise nor particularly care.

    Sorry to hear you taking a bit of flak here @2857Harry I like the insight into planning such an event. Inevitably you can't keep everybody happy. Don't let the haters bring you down.

    I will second this. I know I raised a couple of questions and @2857Harry answered them, that is appreciated and your insight is very interesting. Us punters see less than 10% of what goes into planning an event. The fact that the issue appears...

    I will just place on here a big thankyou to everyone who attended or operated the Branchline Weekend this weekend. I can categorically state it’s been a super weekend, and the only complaints is that it’s been too busy! I mean for a heritage...

    It wasn’t a gala day! It was a Branchline Weekend at normal fares. Not a gala. As said above a 16:15 ex Bridgnorth has been identified which can be put in next year, but it relies on a 6th train and this year we were not given the budget to...

    Nice to see 45407 out and about again despite West Coast having a hard time of it with the M.K.1. C.D.L carriage saga that limits use to 2 Black 5s, Tangmere and Eddystone. The RTC is still hanging in there doing charter trains for 2026 and long...

    Abs Absolutely appalling. Even in the train I worry about that sort of thing but the cab is obviously much more exposed. Publicity will anger most of us, but doubtless encourage other like-mindless creatures.

    It's already had a go at racing 13268 at Ramsbottom! It didn't win, but I'll give ten out of ten for effort! [img]

    The sound from that video is spine-tingling good. I usually avoid trips of 10+ coaches behind a Class 5, especially over Shap, because of the inevitable huge shovage. On this occasion the loco was clearly being worked to its full potential and...

    This year, Oswald has been surviving on a meagre diet of Tangmere; always better than nothing, but . . . ! What I needed was some variety, something to stir the blood. I had hoped to get out to see Blue Peter but Maisie was unwell for a few...

    This really is a chicken and egg conversation. People want more from railways. They put on more and still get complained about. No one could've predicted the amount of trade for this weekend & lets face it, its a nothing type weekend between Feb...

    How many railways would have the flexibility & resource to put on an extra service at short notice?
