Not forgetting incidents in previous years such as the theft of a DRS locomotive nameplate, vomiting from carriage windows, vandalism, theft of carriage components, and even the man with the gas mask, alongside the perennial problems of flailing,...

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...

Well, I hope that there's not a serious injury, or even worse, next year. <BJ>

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...

The T3 is in service today. Stock includes vintage coaches and the GWR inspection saloon at the rear. IMHO, the GWR inspection saloon blends in much better than the Pullman observation car. <BJ>

Reopening of the Bristol to Portishead railway line

No, it's not going to be a new heritage line :(, but if any heritage lines are interested in reusing the original rails, make yourselves known to the Portishead Rail Group or Network Rail. <BJ> ''Tree stumps and vegetation are being removed...
