    Looks like the outward has been retimed now with no stop at Grayrigg and following the Cumbrian Mountain Express up Shap. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U77022/2026-03-28/detailed

    I am very much looking forward to Tornado over Shap next week - which should include many miles of 70mph+ running, 3 unassisted climbs and a full day out behind an A1 Pacific. This enthusiast will be celebrating this is still possible in 2026....

    If this is the case then this really is all about one man's ego rather than any economic argument. Why would you not run the service if you have now made the investment to run in a profitable and compliant fashion?? Surely you want to make that...

    SITOA appears to be under a misapprehension that 2026 is the first time an exemption hasn't been issued. The Jacobite service in fact operated in 2024 and 2025 using CDL compliant stock, the difference being that in 2026 the operator has decided...

    It really is quite simple. If you want to remain part of the club, you have to abide by the rules of the club (which all of the other club members have done). If you don't, you are no longer a member of the club. I find all this moaning about...

    It seems doubtful ORR would be influenced one way or the other by such a threat. The only thing the regulator will be interested is in those coaches purportedly fitted now being R5 compliant. If WC has proved they have an effective method ORR...
