    That is probably a correct account of the situation.

    I'll open the bidding at 30 pieces of silver (plus VAT, non-school holiday premium and a £1.50 booking fee)

    If nobody on board is bothered about having a steam loco actually providing the traction, why would WC bother to put one on the front at all?

    Eddystone seen taking on rare track as she heads over the Marston Vale line, and then even more rarely going over the Chiltern mainline passed Wembley stadium, which was literally up following the FA cup semi-final between Southampton and...

    Whilst I largely agree with many of the points you've made recently, I disagree on this. Pickering is important because it's the closest part of the railway to York, and the motorway network. At the time of writing, York to Pickering is just over...

    My kids' school seems to rely on voluntary contributions (from parents) to keep functioning. And that's a state-run school nominally funded through taxation - and I most certainly pay more than enough of that. I'm probably subsidising my employer...

    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...

    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...
