  1. MellishR liked pete12000's post in the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2025.

    I think the intention of my previous post could have been misinterpreted, we'd been in platrorm 3 at Keighley all day on Monday, our small team of volunteers had chatted to quite a number of people on platform two explaining why we were still...

  3. MellishR liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread Midland Pullman HST (2025).

  7. MellishR replied to the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.

    The original complaint was against the posting of a link to facebook. I can't see what was wrong with that, given where the video of interest was located. If any blame is deserved it applies to whoever posted the video there. That doesn't mean...

  8. MellishR liked acorb's post in the thread FR & WHR & WHHR News.

    I think the design is far better than the collection of portacabins and sheds that are there at present. As a visitor the other week it was almost embarrassing to use and in stark contrast to facilities on the rest of the line. Beddgelert is a...
