    Regarding smoke Tom, on all the clips I’ve seen the exhaust is a good bit darker than I’d be happy with on coal. If it were coal fired you’d say the fireman had just put a heavy round on. As it’s oil I’d assume there’s less such fluctuations as...

    I hear that the S160 has been pressed into service, seemingly on instructions from high level, despite the fact that people aren't passed out on it so shed staff are having to accompany them. Still nothing on their website about the current need...

    So completely unsustainable long term then without a lot of volunteers and some serious funding. Better off running the service with a small bus.

    Yes all 3 boxes must be open for Passenger working. Taking a non-service day in to account (Ie a Tuesday when not running normal trains) you’ll need 2 DMU drivers, 6 signalmen, 2 Duty Officers, 2 Station Staff, and 2 guards.

    Do all three boxes (two at Bewdley and one at Kiddy) need to be open for this to run? If they do, as it's more than a 12 hour day from start to finish, they should really need two shifts to cover it. 6 signallers, two drivers, two guards, four...

    That’s great news I’m really pleased. The 14 of us certainly played our part in upping the coffers. It’s one of my favourite days of the year. Especially with great weather again despite some drizzle in the morning. A two train operation will be...

    Rail Ale 2026 was indeed a success, with income up on previous years. The Chedd tent is a 2yr trial for ourselves, this year showed promise and so next year the provisional plan is to expand slightly further. Operationally next year we will have...

    I'll do some research on many key heritage lines, in no particular order: Bluebell - https://www.bluebell-railway.com/locomotive-roster/ - many months ahead, often fairly accurate, but at least an attempt Severn Valley -...

    I did not understand and therefore wondered what football excursions might have to do with the NYMR. Post #11390 was the explanation that I needed.

    And an early report, from Isle of Man Today, says that the funding has been approved. Great news! The report includes this: "Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall said the investment was needed to restore a ‘living piece of Manx heritage’ and...

    BBC local news says it is being treated as arson.

    I wasn’t aware he was referring to the here and now, more a generalisation. I won’t pay knowingly for diesel haulage, so as has been said, they need to make it crystal clear.

    Rumours of arson, but nothing substantiated.
