3ABescot vond acorb's post leuk in het topic SVR Spring Steam Gala 16-19 April 2026.
Latest SVR news states it became obvious early in the new year that 4150 won't be ready for the Spring Gala (despite a big push) and they are now targeting early summer. On a selfish note 4110 from the East Somerset would make a nice replacement...

The day I visited, the two of us were virtually alone as turn up and go visitors - all the business was on the pre-booked trips. It is easy to see why the effort goes where it does. I hope it works overall for them

Some horsepower calculations, using the RPS spreadsheet, NR measured gradients, my GPS data (northbound) and Graham’s posted log (southbound). All the usual caveats about inherent uncertainties with values given to the nearest 25 and an estimated...

It's good that we have the technology to estimate climbing speeds at locations such as Wilpshire when we are not even on the train but it is so rare to get detail, simply because, Belmond aside, there is never anything worth reporting nowadays...

Well, didn't intend taking this long to post Part 2 of 60007's run but things to do, places to go, but have finished the report of an excellent day out. For the record, the 3 Class 8 Giants of Steam Southbound Climbs of Shap were: To the...

Much like my experiences, except that the staff were polite and friendly in their manner, but had nothing acceptable to offer us. From other posts they seem dominated by pre-booked coach trip and buffet car bookings so turn up on the day visitors...

3ABescot vond jasa76's post leuk in het topic Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.
I called in today as I was passing by and haven't visited for a while. I'd parked at Embsay and was quite suprised that the car park wasn't that busy compared to previous visits so should have been an early warning sign. I'd tried looking at the...

Right of Way on the trackbed has been granted. However, if there are enough complaints, then it has to be referred to the planning authorities for final decision. Details in the LMM segment [MEDIA] Our most valid argument, I believe, is that...
