    The following is a copy of an email I have just sent to our volunteers, and is a great piece of news from the Spa Valley Railway. "Good evening, everyone, I have some extremely good news that I am delighted to pass on. I've just got off the...

    I was on the first train that day, aged nine. It was the only railway event that my dad ever took me to - and here is my ticket (actually my dad's in all probability) to prove it[ATTACH] A day I remember well Peter

    The mind boggles ;) (What happens in Wittersham stays in Wittersham …) Tom

    It's how we laid the Bodiam extension. The Northiam extension was laid with track panels, assembled at Wittersham.

    True, but what they say is the intention to provide a temporary replacement. They say nothing about repairing or replacing the old one as such. Grosmont Parish Council (who have neither the authority or the funding for such projects) have been...

    Well they would have to say that they are working to repair or replace as they have a legal obligation to keep the path open and usable.

    Falls from heights are still a major cause of life changing accidents nationally hence the Work at Height Regulations. Had these been around when steam locomotives were being designed the water filling arrangements would be rather different.

    I don't think that 80135 has ever worked through from Whitby to Pickering, certainly not regularly. It only worked a handful of Whitby - Glaisdale shuttles in May 2003 and a Christmas shoppers special to Middlesborough in December of that year....

    If 80135 takes water at Grosmont in the down direction it should be good to get to Pickering if there is no untoward event but it will be close. There was a prime example of this a couple of years ago with 80136 when the Ashpan sprinkler was left...

    We are assuming that the M7 and 80104 won’t be ready for this summer season. Maintenance requirements, steaming limits, coal & water costs and other ongoing issues would cause problems if we tried to run a 2 steam service for the whole summer - I...

    It does slightly surprise me that the NYMR doesn't arrange water at its intermediate stations - it doesn't have to be grand, a tank wagon in a siding with a submersible pump and a fire hose would do. It would give more peace of mind, particularly...

    Or they're too busy putting it right to issue updates to those of us who really don't need to know? :)

    Whilst on paper Repton is a strong loco is it a good match for NYMR's gradients and train lengths? It seems to have a heavy general overhaul every couple of years

    There are quite a few experienced people who share that view. I don’t think the Schools is the NYMR’s to sell, though.
