SITOA appears to be under a misapprehension that 2026 is the first time an exemption hasn't been issued. The Jacobite service in fact operated in 2024 and 2025 using CDL compliant stock, the difference being that in 2026 the operator has decided...

You been taking your happy pills again? 4 Saphos Cumbrian Jobs have ran in 5 months. All full. The Buxton and Whitby jobs had enthusiasts on in their number.

Some horsepower calculations, using the RPS spreadsheet, NR measured gradients, my GPS data (northbound) and Graham’s posted log (southbound). All the usual caveats about inherent uncertainties with values given to the nearest 25 and an estimated...
