MellishR 支持 LMS2968 在 GWR four-cylinder arrangement? 内发表的帖子.
I know you have the Book on Webb's Three-cylinder compounds. Have a look at all the additional pipework in the smokebox which gets in the way of routine maintenance, such as tube replacement and even cleaning. Take the Midland Compounds with...

MellishR 支持 Jamessquared 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
Why would the ORR insist on that? The ORR isn’t in the business of setting prescriptive policies about how heritage railways operate. What it wants to see is that you have robust processes in place to identify and manage risks - that’s quite a...

Yes, but a local journalist can write what ever they choose to generate clicks, particularly if they decide actually reviewing the primary evidence sounds too much like hard work! In other words - given the original report or DevonLive as my...

MellishR 支持 DaveE 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
Just want to point out incase you have never actually used the 310, it stops at the Fox and Goose, and also Bodley Lane and the Village stores and anywhere else you pretty much shove your hand out and the driver can safely stop. Many locals get...

MellishR 支持 RailWest 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
AFAIK the application is still in draft form, so I doubt anyone on here knows what it contains. One would hope however that those involved with its drafting have learnt from the past mistakes and will make renewed efforts to get it as...

MellishR 支持 Miff 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
It should be borne in mind that in any planning application residents’ objections are not the be-all and end-all, and Parracombe residents do not have some kind of veto. The previous application was refused not because of residents’ objections...

MellishR 支持 RailWest 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
The 'problem' - if there really is one - with any current PE extension proposal is that quite clearly it will be a terminus rather than a through station (halt) for such time until the L&BR can acquire the 'missing' sections of trackbed in order...

MellishR 支持 Old Kent Biker 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
Do bear in mind that PP was GRANTED in 2018 (see the archive, at https://www.lynton-rail.org.uk/story/planning-application-news for more details) to reinstate the line from Killington Lane to Parracombe as part of the project to continue to...

MellishR 支持 35B 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
On a detail, planning officers did not reject Cricket Field Lane. Councillors did, after careful consideration, on the basis that it didn’t follow policy and where objectors could demonstrate fundamental weaknesses in the proposal in front of...

MellishR 回复主题: LTM Sarah Siddons & 1938 Tube Stock Metropolitan Line trips 24-26/7/26.
Interesting that it says "choose from three different routes along the Metropolitan line" if there's only Amersham-Harrow and back or Amersham-Watford and back. Maybe some of the runs do all three sides of the Watford triangle?

MellishR 支持 acorb 在 FR & WHR & WHHR News 内发表的帖子.
Quite remarkable statement really given the size of the FR's fleet, only 3 locos are in long term storage, everything else is either active or under repair. I remember reading something that it is current policy to keep locos operational, as...
