    Usually only if necessary...but the reasons it is necessary seem to get longer by the day - that is the reality of mainline steam. Without wishing to reopen a well worn can of worms, chatting to footplate staff on the Clun Castle trip to...

    Ships have funnels, locomotives have chimneys! I don't think there is a magic bullet. Minimising risk will come from a combination of control measures, including - but not limited to: Spark arrestors in smokeboxes Proper maintenance of ashpans...

    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...
