The cheapest price is £3,490 for a table for 10. That's £349 each. One heck of an expensive dinner.

Doubly so when the feedback on Moors Line is so consistently poor

Chris86 vond acorb's post leuk in het topic The 10A Allocation.
Because Harry, as enthusiasts we give a damn. A number of people on here (myself included) have stated we have not booked a West Coast operated trip for a number of years. The reasons to any enthusiast are obvious. No one is denying that we had...

Chris86 vond Charles Parry's post leuk in het topic West Lancs Light Railway.
[ATTACH] Called in today as part of Greater Preston area double bill with the Ribble Steam Railway. Another one I had never visited and although the running line is short it makes up for it in charm. Montalban was in steam hauling the...

Chris86 vond 26D_M's post leuk in het topic 60019 Bittern.
That's what I thought too and seem to recollect Tony Bush saying at the time they were optimistic it wouldn't be too bad but naturally wouldn't know for sure until they pulled it apart. Didn't it even have some new wheels made due to cracks...

That's not "hilarious"; I'm wavering between 'infuriating' and 'unbearably sad'. Because the line really is in a bad corner, and, as you observe, this is a pretty telling insight into who's minding the store. Noel

I'm surprised that 46100 is considered well worn- I thought she had undergone some pretty significant work quite late on in her last operating spell?

Chris86 vond Penricecastle's post leuk in het topic 6024 King Edward 1.
It's still got the lower "main line" elliptical double chimney. Hopefully they'll paint it in BR green, rather than GWR livery, although if they've removed the smoke box door numberplate brackets, it does hint that GWR livery might be likely. I...

Not sure. Is it my imagination, or does that chimney look different too......

Chris86 vond free2grice's post leuk in het topic 46447 Overhaul.
I was fortunate to be able to visit Cranmore engine shed yesterday. 46447 was outside in the sunshine with more parts being assembled. What struck me was the average age of the young fitters as it was probably only in the mid twenties. Well done...
