Ah yes, the great GWSR carriage shed conundrum! It is being actively looked at, lots of people have different opinions and there are various conflicting constraints. For what it's worth, my own view currently is that there will always be a need...

Repairing carriages on a contract basis is expensive. We have spent a six figure sum on 2 MK1’s which were both operating prior to repairs. In both cases we could have done even more work to them. Many MK1’s are coming to the end of their...

Here is the B&W picture: [ATTACH] AI mistook the steam cloud for sky, and made the train enter a cutting, whereas there was plenty more cutting behind it, obscured by steam. It's the cutting between Springfield Lane and Broadway station. The...

They are longer, iirc 700ft instead of 400ft. The original platforms served the 'Coffeepot', a rail motor and a trailer. Our instructions were to build platforms long enough for 10 coaches And the toilets you'd need with that volume of people......
