Ah yes. Looking forward to the TOC claiming delay repay from the Severn Valley, due to the rostered signaller being busy on the phone to Coach Company X about a large booking of afternoon teas for the following weekend, diatery requirements and...

The very best of luck to you and your fellow Trustees and volunteers. It must have been a devastating blow to get caught up in financial shenanigans. It sounds like you're facing the future with a good plan, hopefully one that is flexible enough...

Thank you Charles for your lovely comment and great photo. The driver on No.20 that day was myself and I hope your ride was smooth in the Old Saloon! 20 is easily my favourite engine and it is a pleasure that we are able to use it for events....

Although the above has some truth... 1. The entire problem is viewable by standing in one spot. 2. The economic benefits should easily out weigh the costs. 3. Its making some adjustments to a two lane road. 4. The railway will be taking on the...

Scoping excercise really means we'll wonder over, have a look at it, spend lunchtime in a pub, then quietly forget about it, citing "logistical issues".
