This just in from Fox and Edwards events. "Flying Scotsman Returns to the Mainline with Trips Nationwide Tickets launched today for tours with the legendary locomotive across the country in September 2026 - with journeys from Bristol,...

The NYMR is on a knife edge with regard to motive power at the moment. I'm told that 37688 has failed and it looks like 44806 is, apparently, the sole 'Whitby' loco and will have to shuttle back and forth between Grosmont and Whitby. That...

Vintage Trains seemed to think Black had been brought forward to today, so seemingly quite lucky to squeeze this in. Hope she is able to get onwards to NYMR at some point.

Will be very easy to blame steam for the fire, and they have recorded such in the NR daily national log. A steam loco went past and within minutes the line side is a blaze, not rocket science to figure that one out….

You can have that argument with Network Rail Ralph who seemingly are pretty convinced, according to the information relayed to VT staff on the VERY heavily delayed train yesterday. WCML was completely shut for a number of hours, delay minutes...

The word on the VT train yesterday was that the fire was definitely down to another steam loco and NR were not seemingly in a rush to help another steam train last night - others can suggest if the 2 items were linked. The decision to go Black...

Makes 44871 move south a waste of time and money as steam can still be used on the WHL

Having been in that situation a few times, both as passenger and steward, the lack of information coming through at times is incredibly frustrating, but there's nothing anyone can really do about it as there's so many links in the chain it takes...

Can only echo the above. At Warrington I had several long chats with staff (including the guard), who were pulling their hair out with the lack of information, but somehow seemingly kept their good humour and most of all professionalism. I hope...

As a comment there was generally less electrical signalling equipment trackside 60 years ago. Cheers, Neil

So, with the benefit of a few hours of sleep - my impressions of yesterday. Picking up at Nuneaton, we left about 50 down after a points failure at Coleshill had delayed things - but a barnstorming run up the WCML, and skipping all of the...

Well we thought we were on the move, but now aren't again.. Really feel for VT, seems the communication from NR hasn't been what it should be.

Apparently we're only going forward to Warrington, but at least we'll be able to stretch legs there
