    That post is so open and helpful. And on the 'other' side of the debate I think that enthusiasts/travellers also need to recognise that creative and dynamic pricing is sensible. It's what happens on the big railway all the time.

    £62.50 Castle to Liverpool on 13th June in Standard Class. Unbeatable price I suggest. We can achieve this by adding more TSOs than we usually do (up to five instead of two) and listening to the non enthusiast market for days out to an...

    But the mess is not about structure but people and values. And, on that, Bluebell seem to have managed to preserve the balance.

    76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]

    Thanks v much for the info. My notes say that I had 63395 from Pickering to Grosmont and 76079 from Grosmont to Whitby on 22 April 23 so that sounds like it may well have been it’s v last trip. And I attach a pic at Whitby taken on that day....

    Assumption? No, that is the aim and intention. And the progress towards the outcome continues apace. You can hope that the established railway history narrative remains intact. It won’t. Records are not established on a basis of being...

    I definitely escaped the worst of the day's rain with my morning trip. It looked horrendous, my thanks and admiration to John, Shep and Nige for braving the elements and posting some excellent images, despite the conditions. In the past I have...

    [ATTACH] The S&C really did itself proud weather wise today, wind, rain and plenty of it greeted the inaugural 'Fellsman' rail tour headed by No. 60532 'Blue Peter' as it worked 1Z46 away from Helwith Bridge over the River Ribble heading for...

    With torrential rain off and on all day, most of my shots today were, in my opinion, below par. Below are the best of a mediocre bunch. https://www.flickr.com/photos/90397953@N02/55312687859/in/photostream/...

    After last week's heatwave we came back to normality with a bump. The weather forecast for today was not good, in fact it was bad, with rain forecast for much of the day. Would the weather gods be kind? Probably not! Would Oswald be able to...

    Some capabilities might have improved but capacity is another matter. Who would you approach to make such a monoblock casting? You would want it defect free and the original design would be in need of examination and adjustment to eliminate any...
