All fair points, but it isn't about the availability of water but the dryness of vegetation. The BBC report says there is no official definition of drought, but there is - the standard, official one is the 15 days one. I agree that the country...

Sorry to be that person but might be worth creating a new thread for oil burning as the threads deviated a little

All I had in mind was that, with minimal strife now among the other organisations and therefore little scandal to peddle, that might have caused the focus to shift to the 762 club. For the avoidance of doubt, I have no quarrel with any of them.

Is it coincidence that we're hearing muttering about the new builds just after peace has broken out between the other L&B organisations?

Some trips reverse at Southampton to run via Romsey and Laverstock. That is a bit shorter but not much.

Good one! (I checked, and it seems to be new; I propose to remember it, and use it; hope that's OK.) Noel

MellishR antwortete auf das Thema South Tynedale Railway..
The trouble is that failure to provide accurate and timely information about changes to what is on offer (and the reasons for those changes) disappoints some of the people who turn up for a ride. Whether or not they get stroppy at the time, they...

You yourself liked the post by @MikeParkin65 whose family '..got fed up with the prospect of ‘a dirty blue diesel’ being more likely to be at the head of their train than a steam engine.' If now isn't high fire risk when would be? My post...

I did not understand and therefore wondered what football excursions might have to do with the NYMR. Post #11390 was the explanation that I needed.

Since when did Footplate Experience operations become known as Footex? Historically Footex was a term for football excursions in the wider railway world. Peter

Those lines are very different though. Lines like the MHR and Bluebell are not really in tourist hotspots, so there traffic tends to be steady all the time. Whereas lines like Swanage, WSR and, it seems, the NYMR are much more "peaky" with...

A couple (or three) of key differences I feel the need to point out.... 1. The NYMR has demand for more operating days but cut them back as they weren't/aren't keeping up with infrastructure maintenance. The more trains they run the quicker they...

I don't think anyone is doubting that steam should not be run where there is a significant fire risk. The problem, as outlines above is in the way that the railway is (or rather isn't) communicating this to people. As I say, like it or not, the...
