It’s good for tomorrow, 70A shedplate and red nameplates just as it was in 1974. Quite an achievement for a 100% volunteer run single engine to be on the mainline for 50 years [ATTACH]

I'd suggest two things: A railway has to invest in its motive power to survive. Deferring that investment will lead to a motive power crisis in a few year's time. So a need for cash for the railway doesn't mean that investment in the future...
