When we first relaid the track we saw all these drainage ditches alongside the miniscule embankments, and some people thought we ought to clear them. Then we realised they were borrow ditches, left and right, to win material for the little...

Probably a good idea, but we are not so logical. The recent re-decking of the warflat showed that this PWay used vehicle fell between two chairs. PWay didn't have a budget for it, but neither did C&W. Now what? It was agreed to use old sleepers...

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...

There you have part of the problem, there is no room for an 8 coach carriage shed at Toddington, where services start. There is room both sides of the line at Winchcombe. Then, from which end do you approach it? How many roads, given that the...

We do want a carriage shed, but can't decide where and how big. Not to mention the cost ... The canopy gang could make quite a bit of it, and reduce the cost....

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...

Hmm, who translated the ' double crossing soft spot ' I wonder? Do they mean a double slip, perchance?
