We've been quiet of late due to excessive heat and lack of bodies making working party's atop the hill a non starter! Yesterday however, we made it to the yard, it was a bit of a slow day, but progress was made non the less on the workshop PMV....

We appreciate everything that both the staff and the volunteers at the railway are doing during an extremely tough situation.

....and sadly, there are people out there who just don't understand what is needed to bring some stability back to our normal summer conditions. Add to that the odd person who might take a delight in firing up a bit of heathland and you have...

The problem Tom is that an hour of heavy rain will do little for soil conditions and just dampen down any smouldering bits of heathland. If heritage lines are sensible, they will wait for several days with pretty consistent rain before thinking...

With regard to the Pullmans going to Whitby, the K1 took them there in 10/10/1999 as seen here, but I forget what the occasion was. [ATTACH] Peter

I had a memorable run to Battersby one glorious spring evening firing to Fletch (the late John Fletcher) on Tornado. We only went from Grosmont, not Whitby, and as you say it was a short lived experiement but what a lovely evening turn it was - a...

This event has now been removed from the What's On / Special Events page on the Bluebell Railway website. Hopefully this just means it will be rescheduled to a later date.

green five liked Fireline's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I could understand a Grosmont to Whitby park and ride, but to add the whole line journey in makes it nonsensical. Say my three friends and I want to attend the event in Whitby. We can either drive to Whitby, and park wherever we can, or park at...

green five liked Sulzerman's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
It is not a park and ride service. That's silly nickname given to it by those who don't like the Whitby operation. Do people say Bishops Lydeard to Minehead is a park and ride? Do the WSR volunteers get shirty when people go to Minehead and get...

Car parking in Whitby over Goth weekend is a nightmare. Providing a park and ride from Pickering with a bit of advertising would surely have filled the trains. Not rocket science.

Liking that post is perhaps the wrong message, but it does seem remarkable that of all the days you choose not to run to your key destination, you choose the one where it is expected to be busy! Tom

Regular readers will know that I am very critical of the NYMR's senior management, but I would like to stress that it is not a blanket criticism. I think the MPD staff under Piglet (and also the C & W, who he's also responsible for) and the PWay...

35028 might already be booked up for End Of SR Steam events next Summer as it is the 60th Anniversary. This might explain the gap in the Pullman bookings in 2027.
