This afternoon’s climb from Strathcarron to Luib summit near Achnasheen was absolutely wonderful listening from the first coach behind the support. With ‘continuous’ jointed track it transported me back many decades. Although I had serious...

3ABescot liked Johnb's post in the thread Jacobite 2024.
There seems to be a lot of misinformation on here about the running of the Jacobite. The reason for normally having the engine facing west is so the passengers can get some proper pictures of it at Fort William, its off the end of the platform at...

3ABescot liked JBTEvans's post in the thread Vintage Trains 2024.
I notice The Red Dragon has been re-named 'The Cathedrals Express' and re-routed via Hereford both ways (was due to go via Lydney). It has been a good few years since a Castle has gone up the Marches from Newport so look forward to seeing that....

I gather 4930 is having a test run later today so hopefully all will be well. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk

Planning to come to the gala on one of the days. Have to say that the line-up is very enticing and all credit to those who have secured the locos for the event. Having navigated the timetable to help me decide on the day to attend I have to say...

Thanks Harry, a very informative response for which I'm thankful. I fully understand the volunteer issues, I'm one of them myself. I just wonder if a bit of empathy towards the concerns would help a little bit from time to time. I know that the...

I think most people really appreciate all the hardwork you and your volunteer colleagues put in for us to try to ensure an enjoyable Gala for everyone, there will always be a curved ball and we know you will do your utmost often in very trying...

:):) There’s not a lot to say about 4930 tbh. A fault reported last weekend (6th/7th) was investigated in the week. It was discovered that it needed to go to BH for repair. It went. That repair is complete. It needs to be formally tested and...

That's a shock. Any reason given? The times had be on RTT and I could find nothing on VT's website or FB page.

3ABescot liked acorb's post in the thread Jacobite 2024.
