    Don't for a second think I am advocating such a reactive vs preventative approach, just giving an insight into several years advising a body who owned hundreds of such structures.... Plus also been involved in provisionally costing out such...

    What would be the cost of a structural failure of a bridge or viaduct as a result of root damage? Weight restrictions, route closure, complete replacement. God forbid if a train was crossing at the point of failure.. Trouble is the longer its...

    Vegetation is a problem, undoubtedly. However by far the greater balance of hazard and threat in terms of fire risk emanates from a steam loco. Expecting NR to do over much to manage their element is a fools errand. The steam loco owner/operators...

    There is plenty of room for informed or uninformed speculation about how much worse heatwaves and droughts will get, and how quickly. Plenty of trustworthy sources make very clear that they certainly will get worse. How main line train operators...

    I find myself in glorious Strathspey next week, can anyone share the loco roster?* Will be there Sunday to Thursday. *(assuming fire risk isn't causing problems in the Cairngorms too..).

    2253 is no doubt a very good investment and will likely pay for itself pretty quickly in this spell of weather. 7 well filled Mk 1s = good income, its how this is replicated, sustained & built upon - but it shows there is demand. What is...

    To be fair I think we all understand the need for diesels to cover when steam fails or dry spells make it dangerous and irresponsible to use steam, particularly through moorland. The reason the NYMR gets a bad rep with them is the excessive use...

    I was just providing an answer to your query where the article doesn't! When the 'journalist' can't even get the day of the incident correct then I wouldn't give much time to the rest. As someone delayed by several hours on the VT Liverpool trip...
