    Whilst waiting for the seaside express the competition came trundling through, heading for Crewe: [ATTACH] Then an hour or so later the pair of Type 3s returned. It seems they picked up a souvenir headboard from one of the seaside shops in...

    It's still got the lower "main line" elliptical double chimney. Hopefully they'll paint it in BR green, rather than GWR livery, although if they've removed the smoke box door numberplate brackets, it does hint that GWR livery might be likely. I...

    Great day on the railway yesterday, the vast majority of services were bang on time to the minute (if not early arriving!). Trains were well loaded and I think the railway deserves credit for basically making Thursday now a full day rather than...

    7714 has had its old grate completely removed, a new grate fully rebuilt, and is back in steam. It will re-enter traffic this afternoon. A superb effort by ESMP and the Bridgnorth staff.

    And given the number of families I saw it did a good job at that, mine included at 3 generations. The Auto Train BTW was a source of much fascination from my daughter (age 13) to my mum (whose 68th birthday we celebrated on the railway). I also...

    I would have to disagree I’m afraid. Branchlines was succesful, infact very succesful. It transformed what would have been a very average weekend of revenue, in to something extraordinary. It’s given us a platform to boost the event from next...

    We left the lead 37 at Goathland presumably to help work the diner back. No issue with the loco failure, as I say I accept these things happen, totally understandable.To leave a packed train standing for 25 minutes without a single person...

    Thanks, yes, I see. Proof of a PRoW for is a right for walkers to pass, not a change of use of the land from that authorised. Insistence on the sacrifice of a 3m width all along it, for example, sounds like to trying to do just that! Anyway,...
