    Nothing shown on RTT as going from Barrow to Carlisle today, so I would assume it still is. Thought the reopening is still some way off.

    Thats right Sheff, the last I read the repairs at Bransty aren't expected to be completed until some time in 2027. The Saphos Lakelander tomorrow, and presumably others this year, returns south via S&C, in effect a CME rather than CCE. RTCs...

    Confirmed that Kalahari has completed her first full line passenger run today. Looking forward to sampling this fine looking machine in action.

    Cumbrian Coast Express 27th May. Map shows normal loop around the coast, but itinerary is elec to Carnforth , steam to Ravenglass and back, then elec back to Euston. So coastal route still severed? https://www.railwaytouring.net/cce-27-06-26

    Isn’t there a question of reversibility? That is, hypothetically you could remove the existing cylinder block and preserve it; and replace with a new set of cylinders (of any construction method, it wouldn’t matter visually); but doing so...

    Apologies for the delay in giving an update on construction but I have been out of the country. So I have attached just a few photographs from the recent Open Day with the Hengist Group at Diamond Engineering in Sheffield. They are hopefully...

    It was great to see the six forgings at Shildon on Monday. On all six, a corner had been cut off so that a steel sample has been tested and a report prepared on the properties of each forging. In the machine shop a large CNC milling machine was...

    Maybe North Yorks CC could provide a footpath diversion over a nice wide former-rail bridge parallel to the footbridge which, although no longer strong enough to bear the weight of trains, should still be plenty strong enough for pedestrians...

    I’d suggest that the so-called outer stone arches are more to make it look pretty than anything else. The Victorians were fond of decorative features on things that they built

    Good question ! I’d sort of lost the will, so I’ve not grilled my sources for a while….

    Thanks - I went back 250 posts, but didn't see that. Must have dozed off for a minute... Falling bricks is often caused by water/freezing, due to failed water proofing. We had that as an issue on the GWSR. Might want to deal with that first.
