Seven hours in the dark on the way back, no thanks. Wrong time of year. Definitely worth a punt if you live in Yorkshire.

Lots... Depends which but of normal you want back. For fire-risk reduction purposes in the short term, a week of steady drizzle would probably be best, as it gets all the dry dead stuff damp, which is the short-term problem. For a longer-term...

I suspect it is demand management, they don't want several hundred people queuing down Fort William platform each morning. As it stands at the moment they easily sell the coach each day, with the little advertising it gets. The last time I...

87 isn't available one day because it is working a race the train special. 130 is still not back in traffic presumably 134 is also not available/no crew or not ideal with the fire risk. Diesels are being used to mitigate fire risk and depending...

Im in the area at the moment, for most of the week the backdrop has been smoke from a smouldering Cairngorms, clearly visible from Aviemore station itself and all along the line from the train. The road through Glenmore and up to Cairngorm...

Not quite. The trial will prove the sustainability really. If it’s a success that makes the right ammount of money then it can be looked at from a more paid staff type operation which of course is a game changer. I think it will be well patronised

I think some credit ought to be given that the way this has been set up and the due diligence done means it is financially worthwhile for the railway . Gus and all involved will have taken a very measured approach to this trial and the potential...
