    Me too! But it can only grow with more volunteers. We've had a good influx in engineering and operations in recent years to the point where it looks like the engineers might be able to get back on with engineering! The railway has struggled...

    That Facebook page is part of a private group (presumably you have to be a GWS member to access it) so I won't attempt to link it from here. However, if I may summarise. . . A superheater flue collapsed whilst 6697 was propelling an empty train...

    Great images; thanks for posting them! They show excellent progress! There's enough stone down now that the chances of the sides of the excavation collapsing seem now (to this total amateur at geotechnical engineering) to be minimal. The...

    I’m a trustee of the Avon Valley Railway Heritage Trust, and we’ve just launched our “Fit for the Future” Appeal, focused on safeguarding the long‑term future of the railway. The aims are deliberately forward‑looking: investing in essentials...

    I had no idea the turnover was that great - that's "premier league" territory in turnover, for a line which - with all due respect - I suspect most enthusiasts don't immediately think of when asked the question "what do you think are the most...
