As somebody sat on the VT train to Birmingham. I did briefly start to sing "we didn't start the fire" You've got to find humour in these moments

Was it hot? Yes, bloody hot! Probably too hot for a sensible Oswald to venture out, lucky I'm not (too) sensible. Had NR got a red level fire risk in place? Yes, for some reason that does not match the conditions here in the NW. [It appears...

Mick45305 liked torgormaig's post in the thread RTC: End of Southern Steam - 9/07/26.
I find it quite amazing to think that in the 59th Anniversary week of the End of Southern Steam there are no less than four Bullied Pacifics at large on the national network at present. We had 35028 out yesterday, 34046 today with 34028 and 34067...

Mick45305 liked Johnb's post in the thread RTC: Eddystone to York - 11/07/26.
The route is through largely arable farming area areas almost all the way with tinder dry crops either side of the line. I’m very surprised it isn’t black restriction , ie no steam, today, just be thankful it’s there
