7714 has had its old grate completely removed, a new grate fully rebuilt, and is back in steam. It will re-enter traffic this afternoon. A superb effort by ESMP and the Bridgnorth staff.

A great report as usual Oswald - despite the 'happenings'. I particularly like 'a young man of adequate girth and a self-confessed cake fan.' Dinosaurs rather like cakes, but intake has to be limited these days. Bryan

Terribly terribly sad. I’ve known Geoff from our days at Peak Rail in the 70s & 80s. A lovely chap and an extremely able mechanical engineer. He would have been a great asset to any new build project and he was totally invaluable in...

Each heritage railway has its own niche where it excels, the Bluebell is unsurpassed with its collection of vintage locos and rolling stock. Yesterday's charter with Fenchurch was a good illustration of that. A few results from the day show what...

I think we established a long time ago that 'profit' and 'business sense' have not been at the forefront of recent decision making. If it were they would have prioritised fitment of CDL for the Jacobite several years ago, rather than putting it...

I know the Grosmont Post Office team and they always try and "look after" the village in the nicest possible way. I also know from bitter experience that the NYMR Park Street Mafia deceive, distort and obfuscate at every opportunity. I wasn't at...
