Not to challenge but just for clarification, how do you define "stronger"? The TE is more than a Black 5's by virtue of the smaller wheels, but only marginally. Anyway I look forward to a ride.

The subtitles are auto-generated by YouTube (if you have the "CC" button clicked) - so not the fault of the producer of the video. For an automatic system they are quite good, but from time to time you do see such howlers as you noticed! Tom

It is a consideration but they already blank out carriages from online booking, I assume expecting walk ups on the day. You could still have the book seats deal with particular carriages saved for the 'rover' option. You could also stick a limit...

Just looking back at the Tornado loadings during this visit I'm wondering whether there was opportunity to try something different. Apologies if this has been mentioned already but I haven't waded through every post I've missed over the last few...

If the genuine take of people (some with considerable experience on successful heritage lines, to inform their thinking) is that the NYMR has management issues, what are they supposed to do, say nothing? This thread actually has recently had...

If you travel to the North York Moors by road from various directions you will see the brown tourist attraction signs. They don’t point the direction to the NYMR, they simply say ‘Steam Railway’. The NYMR must have agreed that wording when they...

It's a poor comparison. The really big issue with steam is that it is very labour intensive in day-to-day operation (all that shifting ash around ...) That's a big problem if you are paying for your labour, as British Railways was; less of an...

They do want to travel behind a steam locomotive but the lack of flexibility in the 60163 only fares, a return trip that doesn't amount to a full day out or offer Whitby as an option or a hefty premium close to a full line rover they'd have to...

أعجب MellishR بمشاركة 60044' في موضوع North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
The full diesel-hauled train was leaving Pickering earlier, and running through to Whitby. The 60163 train was later and only going as far as Grosmont. That may well be the difference! It isn't the whole story, though. If the NYMR abandoned...

We've been told many times earlier in this thread that people just don't want to travel behind diesel locomotives - they want steam. And yet it seems the steam train was half full but the diesel was more coaches and full to standing. That...
