The gentleman at Swanage who used to set the numerals, sadly passed away a few years ago. He was a stickler for accuracy and quite rightly, was very proud of his results. <BJ>

More water was needed than the time allowed. Suspect it was the last chance to fill up before Southall. However, it must have been the slowest approach to Victoria from Clapham Junction I've yet experienced! Very narrowly caught my booked...

Possibly sent under a special agreement using the GWSR for running in and general use. It would be quite a draw for the railway. <BJ>

I think cancelling is the only way forward, even this years autumn bash. I read on this set as well one toilet next to the 20 was smeared in poo? Could well be this guy who did it. Then there was the teak door incident last October. An increase...

The problems at the SVR diesel events appear to get worse each year and need to be nipped in the bud. It may be drastic but I would suggest cancelling the 2027 diesel gala altogether. The message will spread quickly and everyone will understand...

Over 400 facebook comments so far after Jonathan Dunster's well worded statement. 99% of those comments totally angry about the behaviour of the 'person' in question. <BJ>

The Class 47 and one of the Class 20's were rostered on a six coach set which was packed for most of the day. It was our third year of visiting this event and the amount of people turning up for the park and ride at Ropley today was astonishing....

So whenever the quantity of paid staff on the NYMR is raised, your first line of defence is to talk about the cost of volunteers and how difficult they are to manage. Never the positives of volunteers. Who said anything about Nat-pres? As Pete...
