That's interesting. I was at Keynsham watching the events unfold on Open Train Times. No sooner had the tour arrived at East Depot, the signallers gave it a green to rejoin the main line. As the loco needed to be serviced, I assume that the crew...

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>

free2grice liked Bulleid Pacific's post in the thread RTC Swanage Belle 2026.
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>

And here it is enjoying a lucky break in the gathering clouds while crossing Dutton Viaduct. To complete a steamy lunchtime in Cheshire while waiting for the train the steam tug 'Kerne' headed downstream on the Weaver Navigation. [ATTACH]
