    Nice picture there John. I was working there over that weekend and was the afternoon guard when the loco worked back to Mallaig that day, having turned during the lunch layover at F ort William. Here is the train standing in Lochailort station...

    76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]

    I fired 76079 to Whitby on the 13.30 ex Grosmont, then through to Pickering and back to Grosmont on 12/4/2023. On shed it was found that the tubes were leaking yet again. One more attempt was made to expand them and I think it was tried once more...

    That post is so open and helpful. And on the 'other' side of the debate I think that enthusiasts/travellers also need to recognise that creative and dynamic pricing is sensible. It's what happens on the big railway all the time.

    Two lovely sequences, many thanks. I wasn't out for it today, but I was just over 65 years ago. 11 June 1961 as the last steam hauled Golden Arrow drifted downhill to Bromley South on a dull evening. 34100 'Appledore'. I took the photo with a...

    £62.50 Castle to Liverpool on 13th June in Standard Class. Unbeatable price I suggest. We can achieve this by adding more TSOs than we usually do (up to five instead of two) and listening to the non enthusiast market for days out to an...

    As per @60044 there is 44932 at Carnforth, also 48151 (though that may not be suitable for Whitby). Looks like Tornado will help, but I don't think that can run to Whitby either.
