MellishR vond Steve's post leuk in het topic North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
There’s a fundamental difference between the KWVR bridge and the NYMR’s problem. In that the latter is grade 2 listed and simply can’t be replaced. Not only that but any repairs have to not affect the external appearance. The two projects are...

MellishR vond 5944's post leuk in het topic North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
The Haworth bridge replacement was also proactive rather than reactive. Same as the Spa Valley's recent bridge replacement. Neither line was shut for an appreciable amount of time. The NYMR have seemingly been caught on the hop with Bridge 42,...

Whilst there are doubtless things that can be cross-referred, there are massive differences caused by the technology. 1)You can build a girder bridge deck almost entirely in a factory, so the site time is completely different. 2)You don't need...

I think just in fuel terms, shunting is more costly than you might think. (That's a subjective view based on having done lots). Essentially, stopping and starting is more costly than running at an even speed. You also have to think about what...

MellishR vond jonathonag's post leuk in het topic Great Britain XVIII: 18/4 -25/4/26.
Making a promise to myself not to photograph any further South than my postcode, my final images of The Great Britain from this year. Of main interest were the Aberdeen legs, conducted at times of day that I don't believe have been done in...

Lets take that as good news. At some time in the future theres a chance that coffins wont be mandatory, though i suspect the former MK1 Pullmans will be first in the Queue. If there was a impending ban on MK1 Stock this wouldnt be happening...

So a train from Euston to Kilmarnock which possibly includes a Pacer over the S&C, they sure know how to have a good time don't they...

I had just replied to a post about the 25 April trip before noticing that it's in the 2025 thread.

RTT shows it reversing at Preston around 7 o'clock before going on to Liverpool, then going back as far as Preston as 1Z73 before going the rest of the way home to Carnforth as 5A74. This implies that Preston passengers can choose whether to stay...

MellishR vond Jamessquared's post leuk in het topic Oswestry Update.
You can't preserve everything though ... I think on museum / curatorial grounds, there is an argument that says a Pacer should be preserved as an example of a particular strand of rolling stock development - you can see them as the spiritual...

RTT https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U80725/2026-04-25/detailed shows reversals at Acton Wells and Ruislip Gardens but only "Service stops for pathing (passing train)" at Neasden Jnc, and you don't need to reverse there to get onto...
