And given the number of families I saw it did a good job at that, mine included at 3 generations. The Auto Train BTW was a source of much fascination from my daughter (age 13) to my mum (whose 68th birthday we celebrated on the railway). I also...

I would have to disagree I’m afraid. Branchlines was succesful, infact very succesful. It transformed what would have been a very average weekend of revenue, in to something extraordinary. It’s given us a platform to boost the event from next...

Johnme101 liked S.A.C. Martin's post in the thread P2 Locomotive Company and related matters.
Yes - and I hope everyone notes the suitable epitaph I wrote at the end emphasising the changes being made to the design are positive choices that should result in an excellent locomotive when complete. Very happy to see the article finally...

Johnme101 liked SVR C&W's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
Of course we have risk assessed it. During the first test train last year, it was tested. Purple lighting have a unit in the brakevan and if necessary, they can turn on a microphone, which will sound through all the speakers throughout the...

Johnme101 liked Wagoniester's post in the thread Llangollen Railway.
Busy time for Llangollen - the W&M arrived last week, and looking at photos on Facebook just now, the first vehicle of the class 110 formerly based at the East Lancs has just arrived as that unit transfers over to the line. At least one vehicle...

Johnme101 liked Matt78's post in the thread The Gwili Railway thread.
At the moment there are three vintage carriages being worked on which are GWR 216, Taff Vale 220 and Barry 163. They are all at various stages with a lot of work completed over many years but with more to do. The aim would be to get these...

Oh a lot to discuss here, so let’s have a go…… 4 coach MK1 set - We were very limited with stock. All the MK1 opens were in use on the Boogie Lighte Express. This set won’t change much next year, as Boogie will happen again. The timetable...

Well that’s exactly it. How do you write a Branchlines timetable, and not have short trains. If they are more than 4 coaches you can’t stop at Eardington, if they are more than 5 you can’t go inside at Highley and run easily, etc. Carriages wise...

How many railways would have the flexibility & resource to put on an extra service at short notice?

Johnme101 liked 2857Harry's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
Based on numbers for similar events that could not have been anticipated no. Infact based on numbers for previous similar events it was more likely to have needed 1 less train! We had an overly exceptional day yesterday, but having seen the...
