  1. acorb 回复主题: North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    To be honest, with numerous moorland on fire around the country that sounds a sensible loco allocation anyway!

    Trying to disprove the Control Log after the event is quite a battle. I was involved many years ago within the railway industry clarifying a report of a lineside fire was or was not caused by a steam loco. Eventually the evidence was clear , the...

  3. acorb 回复主题: Fire Risk.

    Unfortunately, given the fire at Winsford yesterday and taking into account medium and longer term weather forecasts, I think we could be on the verge of a prolonged mainline steam ban. So probably best to resurrect this thread to track any...

    Don't think there is any precedent for NR making a public statement to the extent of "naming & shaming" in circumstances such as this so unles the operator publicly confesses it will end up being 2+2 etc. There isn't any value in a blame game,...

    This just in from Fox and Edwards events. "Flying Scotsman Returns to the Mainline with Trips Nationwide Tickets launched today for tours with the legendary locomotive across the country in September 2026 - with journeys from Bristol,...

    The NYMR is on a knife edge with regard to motive power at the moment. I'm told that 37688 has failed and it looks like 44806 is, apparently, the sole 'Whitby' loco and will have to shuttle back and forth between Grosmont and Whitby. That...

    Vintage Trains seemed to think Black had been brought forward to today, so seemingly quite lucky to squeeze this in. Hope she is able to get onwards to NYMR at some point.

    Will be very easy to blame steam for the fire, and they have recorded such in the NR daily national log. A steam loco went past and within minutes the line side is a blaze, not rocket science to figure that one out….

  9. acorb 回复主题: RTC 2026.

    You can have that argument with Network Rail Ralph who seemingly are pretty convinced, according to the information relayed to VT staff on the VERY heavily delayed train yesterday. WCML was completely shut for a number of hours, delay minutes...

  10. acorb 回复主题: VT: Ticket to Ride with 7029 - 11/07/26.

    The word on the VT train yesterday was that the fire was definitely down to another steam loco and NR were not seemingly in a rush to help another steam train last night - others can suggest if the 2 items were linked. The decision to go Black...

    Makes 44871 move south a waste of time and money as steam can still be used on the WHL

    Having been in that situation a few times, both as passenger and steward, the lack of information coming through at times is incredibly frustrating, but there's nothing anyone can really do about it as there's so many links in the chain it takes...

  13. acorb 回复主题: VT: Ticket to Ride with 7029 - 11/07/26.

    Can only echo the above. At Warrington I had several long chats with staff (including the guard), who were pulling their hair out with the lack of information, but somehow seemingly kept their good humour and most of all professionalism. I hope...

    As a comment there was generally less electrical signalling equipment trackside 60 years ago. Cheers, Neil

    So, with the benefit of a few hours of sleep - my impressions of yesterday. Picking up at Nuneaton, we left about 50 down after a points failure at Coleshill had delayed things - but a barnstorming run up the WCML, and skipping all of the...
